Port An-Dro Beach in Locmaria - France
Information on the Port An-Dro Beach in Locmaria (France)
Description and location of the Port An-Dro Beach in Locmaria (56360)
Our opinion on the Port An-Dro Beach
Port an-Dro Beach in Belle Ile en Mer is divided in two parts at high tide, with fine yellow sand, appreciated for its sunshine and natural screen that the coast protects from prevailing winds. The beach is rather popular because it is accessible (it is located along the coastal road), has a campsite in the background and offers relative size to the area. Beach volleyball tournaments, water sports, restaurant ... This is an active and relatively young beach. Yet it has a long history. As on about twenty beaches on the island, Vauban has erected fortifications because Belle Ile, protected by cliffs against English and Dutch raids, had weak beaches. Hence the fortifications (or their ruins) that one can still see everywhere. Here too.
To get there, just follow the coastal road north from Le Palais. Two car parks are available.

Photos of the Port An-Dro Beach
Southeast, Port An-Dro (which means "the detour") is well sheltered from prevailing winds by its forested coast. On the peak, one can see the old fort converted into a dwelling house.
At high tide, the beach is divided into two parts.
The right part is reserved for boats instead.
The right part is rather reserved for games and sports, including beach volleyball tournaments.
At low tide, of course, the playground stretches significantly.
With sometimes a baïne (depression between sand hills) in the middle, which may surprise swimmers when covered.
A small cove on the left.
Quite unusual on the island: a bar-restaurant above the beach. And a campsite behind.
