Plage du Halguen

Plage du Halguen is a serene beach located in the northern region of Pénestin, a commune in the Morbihan department of Bretagne, France. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, it is a popular spot for shore fishing, with various types of shellfish found in abundance. The beach is characterized by its small and discreet cove, offering visitors a peaceful environment to relax and recharge. One of the unique aspects of Plage du Halguen is the presence of small recesses that provide shelter from the wind or sun, enhancing the overall beach experience by blending comfort with natural beauty. Despite its beauty and unique features, it is not typically crowded with tourists, offering a more private and personal beach experience. The beach offers a beautiful view of the Vilaine River and is situated at its estuary. From Plage du Halguen, visitors have access to the "Entre Mer et Vilaine" pedestrian route, a 12 km circuit that provides a leisurely coastal path walk. This route can be explored using the topoguide "Les Belles Echappées", available at the local Tourist Office. To reach Plage du Halguen, visitors can take the road to Halguen from the Haut de Pénestin. However, finding parking during the summer months can be a challenge due to the beach's popularity. Despite this, the beach remains a relatively unknown gem, particularly quiet during the week, making it an ideal location for those seeking tranquility.
