We had spent the morning visiting the village of Locronan which is 18 miles away. The harbour today is full of yachts and small fishing boats.In the 16th century large sailing ships visited this important port. They shipped Bordeaux wine to Northern Europe now it is a pleasant tourist town.Just on the edge of the town there is a nice beach overlooking the estuary.
There is a large car park next to the beach where we had a picnic lunch. The port has a good choice of restaurants if you prefer to eat inside. A local Map of the area
