TL;DR (The essentials in 3 points)

  • Category: Activity / Discovery in La Baule
  • Summary: Explore this huge dune and forest peninsula, a wild jewel facing the port of Le Croisic.
  • Recommendation: Ideal for your next holidays on the Atlantic coast.

Separated from the port of Le Croisic by a narrow channel where sea currents rush in with force, the Pointe de Pen-Bron is a formidable protected natural space. This strip of sand, planted with maritime pines to fix the dune in the 19th century, is a true link between the Atlantic Ocean and the salt marshes.

A forest on the sand

The walk often begins in the benevolent shade of the pine forest. This coastal forest is home to a particularly rich flora and fauna, adapted to this dry and salty dune environment. The laid-out paths allow you to delve into the heart of the forest before emerging onto the long naturist and textile beach.

The panorama over the traict

Reaching the extreme tip of the peninsula, the spectacle is captivating. You literally face the town of Le Croisic. The ballet of fishing boats and boaters navigating carefully in the channel to reach the open sea is hypnotic.
