In the seaside town of Pénestin, the gold mine beach is a long strip of sand topped with cliffs in colors reminiscent of the precious metal. Beyond the color, the beach takes its name from a mining operation opened at the beginning of the 19th century, quickly closed due to the costs involved.

A high cliff with ocher shades overlooking the sea... The two kilometer long beach will seduce you. If its colors are reminiscent of precious metal, it is not by chance. The cliff was exploited as a gold mine in the 19th century, hence its name! At the time, it aroused the wildest hopes but was closed during the First World War due to lack of sufficient output. Go for a walk there at the end of the day. In the setting sun, the orange cliff takes on all its reflections. A very beautiful show.
