Plage de Kerloc'h is a picturesque beach located in the Brittany region of France, specifically in the Finistère department of Camaret-sur-Mer. The beach is shared with the commune of Crozon and is positioned in the Dinan cove. This location allows visitors to enjoy a stunning view of Dinan Point, a local landmark, also known as the "Château de Dinan."
This beach is characterized by a combination of pebbles and sand, with the upper part of the beach being more pebbly, while the lower part is sandy. This surface composition makes the beach particularly appealing during low tide when it expands significantly and reveals a captivating landscape. The natural beauty of the beach is further enhanced by the small rocky cove, where fishing boats rest on a carpet of algae, adding a unique touch to the overall scenery.
Plage de Kerloc’h is a popular spot for various water sports activities, particularly surfing. Despite its popularity and the wide range of activities it offers, the beach manages to maintain a peaceful and serene atmosphere, making it an ideal getaway for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
In addition to its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, Plage de Kerloc'h is also a family-friendly destination. The beach features the GR34, a trail that gradually rises, providing a unique viewpoint on the tip of Dinan and the beach itself. This makes it an attractive option for families with small children who can enjoy the scenic trail and the stunning views it offers.
Access to Plage de Kerloc'h is facilitated by a parking area located near the Kerloc'h pond. To get to the beach, one can take the D8 road towards Camaret from Crozon. A small parking area is available on the left side of the road, providing convenient access to the beach. Despite its popularity among locals and tourists alike, the beach does not tend to get overly crowded, making it a comfortable and enjoyable destination.
