Blessed with a
diverse marine heritage, Plouhinec opens onto the Atlantic
with 8 km of coastline, sprinkled with a succession of sandy
beaches and rolling waves. The beaches are perfect for
surfers and windsurfers whereas the open waters are ideal
for sea-kayaks and sailboats.
Plouhinec has various shops, five
campsites and is the gate to the Cap Sizun at the very
western tip of
Finistère as well as being the start of the ‘Route du Vent
Solaire’. This coastal route links some
of the
most beautiful sights and places in seaside Brittany,
starting with the small, picturesque port of Pors-Poulhan
that will tempt you to stop and fill your lungs with its
fresh, seaside air.
Near Plouhinec’s main port of Poulgoazec,
you can find some of the finest seafood around, including
the celebrated local seabass. At 4pm you’ll hear the fish
auction gathering pace as boats unload their nets and lines,
revealing lobster, crayfish and crab as well as turbot,
skate, pollock and sea bream. Finistère seafood is famous
for its taste and is highly sought-after by restaurants and
individuals alike.
Plouhinec was the home of famous French
sculptor René Quillivic, a land of old stones, religious
heritage, traditional hamlets and natural landmarks. Ours is
a rich archaeological area, especially around the Pointe du
Souc’h where we painstakingly preserve the Paleolithic site
of Ménez-Drégan as it slowly reveals a secret history dating
back some 465 000 years.
Unwind on the beaches or roam our discovery trails; head for
the seaside or the riverbanks, the heather or the gorseland;
go cycling, hiking, horse-riding or sailing. Whatever you
choose, there’s plenty on offer at Plouhinec for a stay that
will be revitalising and varied, a taste of authentic
Brittany.
