The section of the GR34 between the Plage de Lanruen, which you can see in the background on picture one, and the car park at the Plage de Guen is very beautiful. The path is separated there for hikers and cyclists/wheelchair users and offers a great view of the beaches

Plage du Guen is part of the protected landscape surrounding Cap d'Erquy. Nestled between gently rolling heathland slopes, this unspoiled beach reveals its tranquil, pristine side. Fine, pale sand and the changing colors of the sea dominate the landscape, while heather, broom, and pine trees grow in the hinterland. At low tide, rocks and small tidal pools emerge, and the expansive view across the bay extends all the way to Cap Fréhel. Since the beach is only accessible via narrow paths and lacks any tourist infrastructure, it remains a quiet spot—ideal for hikes, nature observation, and moments of tranquility by the sea.
