Secret beaches and personal favorites

We often think that in July, the most beautiful beaches are already overrun. But on the Presqu'île de Rhuys, it’s sometimes enough to walk just a few hundred meters off the marked trails to find your own little slice of paradise. Between wild coves lined with maritime pines, wide family-friendly beaches, and secluded inlets facing the open sea, the peninsula’s coastline is full of surprises for those who take the time to explore it. Follow the guide!
 

Fogeo Beach: the unmissable family spot

Just a stone’s throw from the Port du Crouesty marina, Fogeo Beach is probably the best-known and most popular beach on the peninsula. Its calm, shallow waters on the Gulf side make it an ideal playground for children. Fine sand, deckchairs facing the horizon, small restaurants nearby—everything here invites relaxation. In July, the water is mild, the sun generous, and the atmosphere remains relaxed and family-friendly. A classic that fully lives up to its reputation.
 

Port Lenn and the wild coast: insider gems

Less crowded, Port Lenn Beach is one of those places shared quietly among those in the know. Nestled in a sheltered cove on the Atlantic side, it offers sweeping views over the Baie de Quiberon and sunsets that leave you speechless. Nearby, the coastal GR34 hiking trail winds along cliffs and wild moorland, showing Brittany at its most authentic. For couples seeking peace or early-morning hikers, it’s an absolute must.
 

Penvins Point and its chapel facing the sea

At the eastern tip of the peninsula, Penvins Point reveals a breathtaking panorama. A small white chapel has watched over sailors for centuries, standing almost at the water’s edge. Below, the beach stretches out in a peaceful setting, often less crowded than the better-known spots. Perfect for a picnic facing Belle-Île, visible on clear days. It’s the kind of place you quietly keep in your memory long after the holidays.
 

Suscinio: beach between dunes and a medieval castle

It’s impossible to talk about the Presqu'île de Rhuys without mentioning Suscinio Beach. Lined with dunes and protected as a natural area, it stretches out in front of the famous medieval castle of the Dukes of Brittany. A walk along the shore, a refreshing swim in the Atlantic, then a visit to the castle: the perfect summer day. The area is both vast and preserved, and nature lovers will find exactly what they’re looking for.

To fully enjoy all these gems, you need the right place to stay. The Hôtel Breizh du Golfe, located in the heart of Arzon just steps from the Port du Crouesty marina, is exactly that: a modern, welcoming hotel designed so you can focus on enjoying your stay.
