Tips

What makes the beach so special: it is mostly natural, parking lots and villages are located several hundred meters away barely visible on or in the dunes. The vegetation of the cliffs offers a rich flora and fauna among others. You will find several native orchid species, as well as one of the very rare orchid species. To protect this unique vegetation you should therefore not leave the given paths. And last but not least: the special light, the spray, the fog, the sand, which is always overflowing with water, the vastness, the dark cliffs together create a special, misty, almost unreal atmosphere. It's like staying in an intermediate world between no more water and not yet land. This mood captures not only the surfer, who gives himself up to the rhythm of the waves, but also the hiker who stays ashore.

The beach of La Palue - near the village of Crozon - is the surf spot in the region. Together with the beaches of Lostmarc'h and Kerdreux this forms a unique paradise for surfing, since all three beaches are located in the west direction and there are particularly favorable waves. But beware, the strong tides cause repeatedly baines in the sand, which are very dangerous for swimmers. Swimming is prohibited on these beaches and as the tide rises, it is also dangerous for beach walkers. However, the beach walking path (sentier cotier) is very nice and can take you from the Cap de la Chèvre to the famous Pointe de Pen-Hir. It runs in the dunes or above the cliffs and offers always fantastic views,
