First visits

A few pictures of our first visits to the local beaches, if you look at this map you will see how close Lannion is to several different beaches and coastal villages, so we have a lot of places to go to, each of which has its own attraction:

Plestin Les Greves


















Long flat sandy white beaches, great for sand sailing which looks a bit fast but very cool! This pic was taken on our way back from Brest.



Le Yaudet




















A tiny little old village and port on the Leguer, literally a 5 minute drive from our house. Looks really pretty and a nice place to walk around the coast, but impossible with pushchair and whiney toddler. So we'll do it properly another time!



Perros Guirec (Trestraou beach)


















A very busy resort, popular with Parisiens and English, not sure they get on with each other though! Loads of bars and restaurants on this strip, as well as a Grand Casino. The beach has a holiday club hence the trampolines which Laila loves!






Ploumanac'h




















Part of the Pink Granite Coast (Cote de Granit Rose) which starts at Perros Guirec and ends at Trebeurden. The enormous pink rocks off the coast are an incredible sight, all different forms and sizes shaped from the sea. This is a lovely place to walk and has good pathways for pushchairs too.




Trebeurden

















Probably the best "beach" for sunbathing, picnics, building sandcastles and a nice family day out. Not as busy as Perros Guirec and a bit less windy. It was low tide when we were there last weekend, so we didn't get very close to the water, something for us to try next time!
