Our opinion on the Port-Belloc or Port Bellec Cove

Adresse of the Port-Belloc or Port Bellec Cove : Ch du Cardinal 56360 Sauzon

It is another beach of the Curés in Belle Ile en Mer. "Porh" or "porz" in Breton means "creek" or "cove" and "bellec" means "priest". All the Curés Beaches are famous for their closed and secretive appearance (for the privacy of the officers of the cult who might have lost their authority if one had seen them naked). This is the case here again. The nearest swimming area in Sauzon has probably occupied by the English ("Saoz" means "English"). It is mainly a place for people who are looking for peace and quiet or to explore the seabed, which is very clear. As for space and sports activities, it is quite limited. Caution, access is difficult and there is a small number of space.

Access to the Port Bellec Cove in Sauzon

One must deserve the access. One must first take route du Cardinal (quite passable) north of Sauzon, then take the one of Port Bellec (ditto), park in the car park next to Cardinal Hotel and finally find that narrow path going down to the creek.
