Plage du Men Du is a captivating beach situated in the enchanting town of La Trinité-sur-Mer in the Morbihan department of the Bretagne region, France. Its location near the westernmost edge of La Trinité-sur-Mer, bordering Carnac-Plage, offers visitors a chance to explore the coastal path and experience the surrounding natural beauty. This beach is also near the Île de Stuhan, a small island that can be accessed via a sandbank at low tide, providing a pleasant walk for visitors.
The beach is known for its fine white sand, making it one of the nine beaches in the area that offer such a feature. The natural characteristics of Plage du Men Du are quite unique; it has a gentle slope, making it an ideal spot for children and families. While the sand is somewhat coarse and the area can be rocky, the shallow water and the walk to the nearby island make it worth visiting.
At high tide, the beach can get quite deep, but at low tide, visitors can walk for hundreds of meters and observe a variety of marine life, including clams and crabs. Furthermore, the beach is known for its amazing tides and interesting sand banks. There is an island that sometimes becomes a peninsula, adding to the beach's charm. The water is typically warm and calm, especially during the summer months, making swimming easier at high tide but still possible at low tide as a paddling pool.
In terms of amenities, Plage du Men Du offers lifeguard surveillance, but this service is only available in July and August. The beach also hosts a Club Mickey for children in the summer, featuring a pool. However, it should be noted that certain activities are prohibited on the beach, including the use of dogs, jet skis, fires, barbecues, and kites.
Access to the beach is convenient as it can be reached by car via the coastal road (D186) from Carnac. Parking spaces are available along the road, and the beach can be accessed via stairs. Despite the lack of specific details about other amenities and leisure activities, the beach's natural beauty and unique features make it a popular destination.
Lastly, the beach is also close to the Presqu'île de La Trinité and the marshes of Kervillen, which serve as habitats for various bird species and fish. These marshes have been restored and managed by local authorities and artisans, adding to the area's natural allure.
