The Pink Granite Coast is pink granite, white sand and green moors, you’re guaranteed exceptional views. Enjoy the land, but also the sea: throw yourself in to this turquoise sea and let your mind drift away!
Your starting point is in the narrow streets of one of the most beautiful towns on the north coast. Admire the impressive line-up of the half-timbered houses as you go.
Not far from here, you have to make a choice: Go down the Jaudy estuary on the trails? Gently kayak on the coastal river? Along the way, the banks become rocky. In the little oyster port of La Roche-Jaune, magical views unfold of the estuary and the islands, surrounded by the tide. Scramble across the rocks in Baie de l’Enfer and the boat cemetery, straight out of a legend. Now you’re at Pointe de Beg Ar Vilin, a pearl among the oysters as far as the eye can see!
From Louannec, it’s downhill all the way to Perros harbour, via the Lenn maritime marsh: an ideal bird-watching spot. On the other side of the harbour, keep going to Pointe du Château. You’ve arrived. Enjoy the white sand of Trestrignel and Trestraou, two superb and protected beaches. And the pink everywhere… The most famous granite rocks in the world emerge from the water and the moors, forming odd shapes. What can you see? A hat, a bottle, a head? The imagination ignites just like the pink-hued nuances on a summer’s night! On the way, you’ll see the emblematic Ploumanac’h lighthouse keeping watch. Take a dip on Saint-Guirec beach, at the bottom of the little oratory, and here you are at the harbour, enclosed by a tide mill. As you head to Trégastel, on the Tourony peninsula, enjoy the view of the surprising Costaérès castle, in the middle of Sainte-Anne Bay.
