Plage des Nouëlles, also known as Bleuets - Saint-Laurent, is a tranquil beach located in Plérin, a commune in the CÎtes-d'Armor department of Bretagne, France. This beach is well-known for its natural charm and serenity, making it an ideal location for those looking for a peaceful environment to relax and unwind.
Covering over a kilometer in length, Plage des Nouëlles is known for its expansive nature, particularly at low tide when the sea retreats up to 600 meters. This provides visitors with a larger area to explore, enjoy leisurely strolls, or engage in various sports activities on the hard, flat sand. The beach is characterized by its diverse landscape, which includes rustic areas, a range of housing, and an abundance of seashells of various sizes that enhance its natural beauty.
The beach also boasts a well-maintained seawall, which is the only part of the beach that remains accessible during high tide. At these times, some parts of the beach may also have pebbles. Despite not having ideal water quality for swimming and the prohibition of shellfish gathering, the beach still offers enchanting views and a peaceful ambiance.
Plage des Nouëlles provides several amenities for its visitors. Among them are a playground and an outdoor gym, offering additional recreational options. Dogs are allowed on the beach, with the expectation that owners will clean up after their pets.
One of the challenges faced by visitors to Plage des Nouëlles is the availability of parking facilities. While there is a small parking lot on one side of the beach, a larger parking lot is available on the Bleuets side of the beach. It should be noted that parking can be difficult, particularly during peak times. Another potential challenge is the limited access to the nearby Anse aux Moines at high tide due to the threatened cliff.
Despite these minor inconveniences, Plage des Nouëlles remains a captivating destination with its serene environment, natural beauty, and various recreational options.
