Port-Penhouet Beach

Highlight • Beach

Port-Penhouet beach is one of the most beautiful coves on the north coast of the island. Less known than its neighbor, the Plage des Poulains, it is nonetheless magnificent.

The western tip of Belle-Île faces the ocean and the Americas! In reality, this point is a peninsula which connects Belle-Île by means of a fine sandbank which offers one of the most beautiful beaches on the north coast! It was immortalized by the photographer Philip Plisson, which gave the cliché "Avis de gale sur les Poulains". It is undeniably a site to discover just a few steps from Sauzon and its magnificent little port.

Port de Stêr Vraz offers one of the most beautiful beaches on Belle-Île!

Ideally located, it is part of the municipality of Sauzon and is close to the grotto of the apothecary. To discover !

L'Apothicairerie Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The guide claims that this place gets its name from bird nests in rock crevices that look like bottles on pharmacy shelves. That wasn't clear to me on site, but it's good. ;-) Still a beautiful, rough piece of earth. You can easily get here by bus from Le Palais. What impressed me was that there apparently used to be tourist facilities here (souvenir shop, restaurant) that were closed and dismantled a good 10 years ago. Today there is nothing here but sea, rocks and heath, and that's a good thing.
