Linès Beach in Plouhinec - France

Our opinion on the Linès Beach

Plouhinec’s Linès Beach is the most westerly of the three and joins onto the Gâvres Peninsula. It is also the easiest to access (the others can be a little difficult to get to). To the west it is bordered by the main departmental road and a Military Zone used as a training ground by the French Navy (which is why parking is only allowed all week during summer, and throughout the rest of the year, only on weekends). If you decide to come off-season, take care, as sometimes shots ring out (although most of the training exercises are carried out with blanks it would be wise to look out for the signs before going off on an adventure!). Towards the east, the beach stretches for miles and onto Plouhinec’s other beaches.
Unfortunately this beach is not monitored.

To get here from Gâvres, follow the signs for Plouhinec on the D158 (the road borders the ocean and Gâvre’s small sea, allowing for spectacular views). After 5km (3 miles), you’ll reach the mainland where Linès Beach car park is.
