Local tips
Wind and tidal conditions determine the best beach each day — Kelenn, Penquer, Cosmeur, Grève Blanche and Clouët each suit a different wind angle. Large tidal ranges can leave some beaches nearly dry at low tide. Don't go solo: currents near Callot island and the surrounding islets can be complex.
