Plage du Tréno

Plage du Tréno, located in Arzon, Morbihan, is a serene beach in the Brittany region of France. Its location on the Gulf of Morbihan offers visitors a picturesque view of the town of Locmariaquer and the islands at the entrance of the Gulf. The beach is characterized by its sandbanks and it is known for its strong tidal currents, especially the Jument current, which is the second strongest in Europe. However, these currents can make swimming hazardous. The beach is accessible through Rue de la Douane, Boulevards de la Rade and de Bilgroix, or via Rue du Dolmen or Pointe de Bilgroix during low tide. Despite its somewhat challenging access, Plage du Tréno is a popular destination, especially for families during the peak summer month of August. However, due to its small size and limited parking, it tends to be less crowded than other beaches. Plage du Tréno is equipped with a picnic area and outdoor play equipment for children, making it a family-friendly destination. However, pets are not permitted on the beach. Despite its small size, the beach can get crowded, particularly during the peak summer month of August. However, its difficult access and limited parking help to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors should note that the beach's waters are cold, and swimming may be limited due to the strong currents. Despite these challenges, the beach was awarded the Démarche Qualité Eaux de Baignade certification in 2014, which attests to the good quality of its bathing waters.
