Plage de Camaret is a serene beach located in PĆ©nestin, a commune in the Morbihan region of Brittany, France. Nestled on the banks of the Vilaine River, the beach is recognized for its tranquility and is not heavily frequented, offering a peaceful and less crowded environment.
The beach is characterized by its soft white sand and the striking colors of the water under the sun. Large pebbles line the edge of the beach, making it a good idea for visitors to bring water shoes for added comfort. Despite the presence of mud, the beach is generally clean and well-maintained, providing a somewhat wild and natural setting that is perfect for a morning walk.
One of the unique features of Plage de Camaret is its mytiliculture activity, which involves the cultivation and breeding of mussels. This activity contributes to the beach's charm and gives visitors a glimpse into local marine life.
The beach is easily accessible and has good parking facilities, making it convenient for visitors who prefer to drive. It also welcomes pets, allowing dogs to roam freely. The beach's open and expansive nature makes it a suitable environment for children to engage in activities such as playing football.
From Plage de Camaret, visitors can access the "Entre mer et Vilaine" pedestrian route, a 12 km circuit that allows for exploration of the surrounding area. The route offers beautiful views of the preserved riverbanks, which are classified as a natural heritage site. However, visitors are advised not to go too far out of their way to visit.
The beach's serene atmosphere is particularly appreciated in the evenings, making it a pleasant place to visit on a hot summer day. Whether it's after a hike to nearby locations or just for a relaxing day on the sand, Plage de Camaret offers a peaceful retreat amidst nature.
