Plage de Postolonnec

Plage de Postolonnec is a charming beach located in the town of Crozon, in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. Nestled between the pointes du Menhir and de Trébéron, this beach is a part of the picturesque bay of Douarnenez. The beach is known for its tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors. The beach is characterized by its fine sand and shallow pools, which are particularly adored by children. The retreat of the sea at low tide creates warm pools during the summer, offering a unique experience for the beachgoers. The beach is ideal for various activities such as swimming, fishing, and building sand castles. However, it's worth noting that swimming is only possible at low tide because the beach disappears at high tide. Despite its popularity, Plage de Postolonnec manages to maintain a calm environment. The beach is not supervised for swimming but is easily accessible, with a flat descent that makes it suitable even for prams. The beach provides a stunning view of the bottom of the bay of Douarnenez on the Morgat side, offering a worthwhile detour for visitors. Plage de Postolonnec is equipped with amenities for the convenience of its visitors, including a toilet. Parking is available at the edge of the beach, providing easy access for visitors. To reach the beach from the center of Crozon, visitors must take the rue de Graveran and then the route de Postolonnec for approximately 2 kilometers. Despite its natural beauty and the amenities it offers, the beach has had issues with green algae invasion in the past. However, it is currently free from algae, contributing to its serene and pleasant ambiance.
