Cove of Penara in Ile d'Arz - France
Information on the Cove of Penara in Ile d'Arz (France)
Description and location of the Cove of Penara in Ile d'Arz (56840)
Our opinion on the Cove of Penara
This cove of Penara (or pen ar raz) on the island of Arz, more popular than others, owes its frequentation to its jetty. Motor boats or sailboats unable to beach themselves dock on the east coast at this spot, the neighboring beach of Keroland only having a boat ramp. This jetty brings a lot of animation. It is also frequented because bicycles (often rented at the Béluré embarkation point) can reach it (other coves often being only accessible on foot). Like its neighbors, Penara has shaded areas from midday, another significant advantage in hot weather. Another advantage is that it is only 300 m from the village, its small bars, restaurants, and artisans.

Photos of the Cove of Penara
Penara has a small stretch of sand to the left of the pier.
And a larger one to the right...
...made of relatively clean and beautiful sand.
The pier is lively at certain times of the tide.
At high tide, you have to get into the water to reach the coves of Kalzbagou and Fontaine Varia.
The right side is paradoxically less densely populated.
A channel protects swimmers and paddlers from boat traffic.
On the far right, a grove shelters a grassy area ideal for picnics.
Across the way, you can see the island of Ilur, which can be reached by rowing, motor or sail.
