Plage du Poul is a serene and picturesque beach nestled in the bay of Douarnenez in Crozon, a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. The beach is situated at the pointe de Guern and overlooks the île de l'Aber, offering a tranquil setting and breathtaking views. Stretching over 500 meters, the beach is characterized by a sandy cove that is particularly pleasant and calm, particularly during low tide. However, the beach is covered in pebbles at high tide, so visitors are advised to be cautious.
Aside from its natural beauty, the beach is also known for being well-sheltered from the wind, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing and relaxation. Despite its tranquility, however, it should be noted that the beach is not supervised for swimming.

In terms of amenities, parking is available near the beach. However, due to the steep slope, getting to the beach from the parking area can be a bit of a challenge.
