Côte Sauvage of Quiberon
Quiberon, France
The Atlantic side of the Quiberon peninsula: arches, coves and cliffs along a road with many parking spots. Swimming is forbidden here because of dangerous currents.
The Côte Sauvage runs for about 8 km along the west side of the Quiberon peninsula, from the Château Turpault to the Pointe du Percho, and belongs to the Conservatoire du littoral. The surf has carved bays, reefs, caves and rock arches, many of them best seen at low tide. One arch lies on the beach at Port Blanc, a cave at Port Bara. There are several car parks along the coast road, and a coastal path leads, among other places, to the Trou du Souffleur, Port Bara and Port Blanc as far as the Pointe du Percho, where the remains of a customs post stand.
The few beaches are not suitable for swimming because of the strong undertow, so please refrain. Check the tides before you visit if you want to see the caves and arches, and expect wind and spray even in calm weather. Access is free.
