Beach description
The main municipal beach is located in a cozy quiet bay, protected from the sea by the cape of Saint-Gilles. Thanks to this, there are practically no waves or strong winds. Quite long coastline curved in a form of arch is covered with soft golden sand. The bottom is also sandy, with gentle slope and safe.
The beach is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It has toilets and showers, and instead of the usual locker rooms there are special beach houses, where you can not only change clothes, but also leave your clothes. They are typical for French resorts, with frequently occurring high tides, threatening to wet or completely carry away things left by tourists.
The beach has a long promenade stretching along, where you can find numerous cafes and diners. Here you can also rent a boat, catamaran, sea or sand yacht and various sports equipment. And for the youngest ones, the beach has an entire playground with inflatable slides and trampolines.
Next to Trez beach, closer to the port, there is the beach of Bénodet Coq. It is also sandy, but much more narrow, so during high tides the sea “eats” almost the entire coastal strip. On the other hand, it offers a magnificent view of the harbour, especially in the rays of the setting sun.
