Our opinion on the Mine d'Or Beach

Adresse of the Mine d'Or Beach : Allée des Tennis 56760 Pénestin

Bordered by high ochre coloured cliffs, Pénestin’s La Mine d’Or Beach is the most popular beach of the resort. The site is beautiful, probably one of the best of Brittany and, on top of that, it has its own story to be told! It is a former gold mine (gold was found directly outdoors in the sands of the foot of the cliffs) whose operation was stopped in the early 20th century (low profitability). This vast sandy beach extends for about 2 km in a beautiful landscape. It is an ideal place to swim (even if it is not supervised) or to walk around. Access is by a trail on a gentle slope from the car park (free). There are a few restaurants across in “rue de la Plage”.
