Plage de BordardouƩ is a beautiful beach situated in Le Palais, a commune in the Morbihan department of Bretagne, France. The beach is admired for its serene atmosphere and unique natural features. It is characterized by golden sand, a steep slope towards the water, and excellent sun exposure. At high tide, a large rock becomes an island on the right side of the entrance, while on the left side, there are sandy coves that are accessible only at low tide.
The beach is also noted for its remarkable geological structure, a cliff made up of thin layers of multicolored and folded tuff and quartz, which reflects the formation of rocks in Belle Ile. This unique geological curiosity has made the beach a popular spot among amateur geologists.
In addition to its main area, Plage de BordardouƩ extends to a second, longer beach on the far right, which can be accessed by going around the cliff. This part of the beach, known as Plage de BordardouƩ Est, features a wild and inspiring landscape, with rocky formations and caves. It is less crowded than the main beach, making it a perfect spot for visitors seeking tranquility.
Plage de BordardouƩ offers a few amenities for visitors. There is a small parking lot available, but as it is not particularly large, visitors may also park along the road when necessary. The beach is also a good spot for fishing and shellfish gathering. Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a calm and enjoyable atmosphere, even during the peak season.
To reach Plage de BordardouƩ, visitors can turn at the BordardouƩ hamlet and follow a straight path that leads to the coastal trail. This beach, with its protected dune flanked by chestnut fences, is a sublime destination that is highly recommended for those visiting Le Palais.
