Plage de Kerfontaine is a scenic sandy beach located in the town of Sarzeau, in the Morbihan department of the Bretagne region, France. The beach is nestled between the port of Saint-Jacques and Roaliguen Beach, providing a picturesque view of the Penvins Point.
This beach is known for its unique natural characteristics. During high tide, the beach becomes quite narrow while at low tide, the beach expands significantly, revealing rocky areas that make swimming a bit challenging. However, these same rocky areas are a haven for oysters, which can be found in abundance at low tide, providing an opportunity for shore fishing. Despite these tidal changes, Plage de Kerfontaine offers plenty of space at mid-tide, making it a pleasant spot for beachgoers.
In terms of amenities, Plage de Kerfontaine has a small snack bar and sanitary facilities available for visitors during the season. While the beach is not supervised, some areas are equipped with emergency call points for safety. It should be noted that dogs are not permitted on the beach between June 15th and September 15th, and kite surfing activities are regulated.
Access to Plage de Kerfontaine is straightforward, with several entry points leading to the beach. The most convenient access point is the parking lot situated near Rue du Varech, in proximity to the Les Plages de Saint-Jacques residence. The parking at this beach is free of charge. Once there, visitors can also take a stroll along the coastal path to explore the nearby Saint-Jacques port and enjoy the typical Breton environment.
Despite its spaciousness and natural beauty, Plage de Kerfontaine is less crowded during the month of June, providing an ample and serene space for visitors to relax and enjoy the beach.
