Porh Gwenn Cove in Bangor - France
Information on the Porh Gwenn Cove in Bangor (France)
Description and location of the Porh Gwenn Cove in Bangor (56360)
Our opinion on the Porh Gwenn Cove
There are many "white Ports" (or Porh or Porz Gwenn) in Brittany, including three on Belle Isle. That of Bangor should not be confused with Port Blanc in Sauzon, or with Port Guen in Palais. Porh Gwenn Creek in Bangor is a grey sand and pebble cove, framed by tuff cliffs, and is ideally sunny for a beach, i.e. facing south-west. But the water is a little cooler than in the neighbouring Herlin Cove.
To go there, go through the hamlet of Herlin and take the south path, then the first path on the right.

Photos of the Porh Gwenn Cove
Light grey sand on the left, pebbles on the right, the creek is not very wide.
His dark tuff cliffs offer some areas, especially at low tide.
Like most beaches on Belle Ile, it is the culmination of a valley, dune or not.
It is hard to get there with a boat, but with a small trailer.
However, the car park is close by.
