View of Plage de l'Île Vierge

Nice point of view on the point. The beach on Île Vierge, very popular for its turquoise water, has been closed to the public since 2020. For good reason: its access on a steep and slippery path, considered too dangerous.

Too bad, the Ile Vierge is permanently closed - there were probably too many people to spice up their Insta...

We would have actually told you one of our favorite places here – to your right is the tiny peninsula of Île Vierge with its striking rock arch at your feet. For us, its small pebble beach with almost Caribbean-turquoise blue water is one of the most beautiful places in Brittany. Unfortunately, this once untouched and idyllic insider tip fell victim to an internet phenomenon: In 2014, the small bay was voted the "seventh most beautiful beach in Europe" based on a photo posted on an internet site - including how to get there. The result was a veritable mass of tourists who headed for the stretch of coast from the parking lot not far away, dared the always dangerous descent down to the water's edge - and not only overcrowded the tiny bay, but also continued to destroy the edge. And so the authorities took action a few years ago and completely banned the descent to the water. Numerous signs indicate this. But we think the view of the small bay from above is beautiful.
