Camping de Keralouet

If strolls and dips at Les Sables Blancs aren’t satisfying, there are sailing lessons in Lesconil, more beaches and a marina 10 minutes’ drive away at Loctudy, and surfing, sand yachting, snowboard surfing and paddleboarding at surf hotspot La Torche 20 minutes from base. If island living is beckoning, the site is well placed. The stunning Glénan Islands rise out of the sea just 10 miles from shore, and are easily reached from Loctudy or Bénodet (half an hour away). This ‘Breton Tahiti’ is well worth an explore, with white sandy beaches and a clear blue lagoon summoning visitors over the waves. The long-distance GR 34 passes right by the site if mainland adventures are more enticing. Ramble along the path past marshes, coves and dunes, and try out a little wildlife spotting too – just don’t forget to make the most of those views. Away from the coast, there’s plenty to entertain too: to get a feel for the history and culture of the area, head to the 19th-century Manoir de Kerazan for tours (open from June to September), to the museum in the keep of Château des Barons du Pont, to the spectacular lighthouse in Penmarc’h and to the weekly Thursday market in Pont l’Abbé for food, crafts and clothing. And that's just to start...
