The outstanding feature of this resort is its great beach of more than two kilometres of fine sand, but each visitor can choose among four others, the well-appointed Saint-Colomban, Légenèse, Ti Bihan and Men Du (in Trinity but at the limit of Carnac) that welcome families and sport minded people ... all are sheltered and known for their gently shelving beaches and their water purity. You can also enjoy a beautiful view of the beaches of Quiberon from the western part of the resort.

After the beach, towards the “megaliths” that mark the landscape, there are many Dolmens and Menhirs. The views of the coastline enchant. Carnac is the place of the global megalithic, there would be 3871 standing stones divided into 5 zones to discover.
