Herlin Beach in Bangor - France
Information on the Herlin Beach in Bangor (France)
Description and location of the Herlin Beach in Bangor (56360)
Our opinion on the Herlin Beach
Three valleys lead there and form an aber (or Ria), a feature of Brittany. The beautiful sandy beach of Herlin has formed at their joint mouth. Or rather two beaches, separated at high tide. It is a family-oriented beach, not crowded, and large enough for all leisure activities to be practiced without neighborhood problems. However, one has to be careful of the currents, which may prove dangerous. Fortunately, the beach is monitored from 1 to 7 pm. At the right time, there are wild mussels and barnacles.
Several paths lead to the beach. By car, on the highway across Bangor - Locmaria, turn right just before the menhir of Pierre Sainte-Anne towards Kervarigeon or the first road suitable for vehicles to the right, towards a car park with a hundred parking spaces. One will have to walk 400 m on foot, but it is a small price to pay to keep this beautiful beach wild.

Photos of the Herlin Beach
The beach of one’s dreams: wide, sandy, with a wild landscape.
Beware of the peaceful aspect of the waves, currents are sneaky. One has to be cautious of still waters ... In the distance, one can see the indentation of Baluden Beach, which one can reach by the coastal path.
Both parts of the beach are separated at high tide.
The left side (East) is backed by dunes.
There are some small rocks on the shore.
Disabled people cannot access it.
The dunes are preserved. Please respect speed limits.
The right part leans against the cliffs, which are in the shade in the evening.
It is a rather quiet and family-oriented beach.
Wild surroundings are guaranteed (here seen from the trail leading to the naturist beach of Dotchot).
