Port-Guen Beach in Le Palais - France
Information on the Port-Guen Beach in Le Palais (France)
Description and location of the Port-Guen Beach in Le Palais (56360)
Our opinion on the Port-Guen Beach
One must not confuse Port Guen Beach (Port Blanc) in Palais with Port Gwenn in Bangor or Port Blanc in Locmaria, south of the island. It is a small sunny beach sheltered from the prevailing winds, which makes it a boat haven (many tenders are parked on the beach), but also a pleasant place to spend the day. Its yellow sand is full of shells: periwinkles, gibbules, limpets ... Beautiful edible mussels at times also on the left of the beach. At low tide, the sand covers almost the entire cove.
To get there from Le Palais through the entrances to Vauban and Bangor, turn left on the coastal road and cross the hamlet of Borthelo. Port Guen is down the road (small car park with fifteen places).

Photos of the Port-Guen Beach
Large sandy cove well protected from prevailing winds, but mostly on the left.
At low tide, the sand area is singularly enlarged, becoming a relatively flat playing field.
No dock but a gentle slope, which is accessible to disabled people.
This gentle slope makes it easy for small boats to launch.
On the left, two creeks are also used as sheds for tenders.
A lot of boats at anchor: the place is safe.
