BEACHES

As a French holiday region Brittany runs a close second to the Cote d’Azur with more than 1,000km of sand, far more than the Rivera offers and less crowded. Within 30 minutes drive the beaches of Finistere offer white sandy beaches, rocky coves, as well as hill top walks and rugged coastline.  Most of the beaches nearby are quiet even in the busy times. There are inland beaches on remote estuaries and alongside local lakes.  The coastal beaches are clean and pollution is rare.

WATER SPORTS

Water sports of all kinds can be found on many of the region's coastal areas. Many lakes and inland waterways offer the opportunity to canoe or sail.

WALKERS

GOLF

Brittany now has over 30 Golf courses. The course at Landerneau, 30 minutes drive, is certainly one of the most challenging courses in Brittany and ranked 13th in all France . Built on high ground, the course is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of holes, some of which are very long. The fairways tend to be tight and the rough can be punishing, but beginners can warm up on the 9 hole course before tackling the full 18. The course at Brest -Plouarzel Near Brest and close to the coast on the western tip of Finistère, this interesting course runs along a wooded valley, amongst granite stones. Its natural beauty has been enhanced by water hazards which have been built and must be crossed on holes 3 and 8. A challenge to any golfer and after an exhilarating game the friendly clubhouse awaits!
