Surf spots in Brest

Discover the best places to ride the waves in Brest

1. The Minou spot in Plouzané

17.5 kilometers from your Brest spa hotel

Just a stone's throw from downtown Brest, the Minou spot is the closest surf spot to where you live.

Grab your surfboard and head for happiness. Whatever the tide of the day, the sensations are there. But beware of the baïnes at low tide, which are very dangerous for humans.

As soon as the weather conditions are right, Plouzané's beach is quickly packed with surfers. And if you want to take a break, come and admire your friends from the Petit Minou lighthouse. It's become an Instagrammable spot that everyone loves to share on their social networks.

 

2. The Blancs Sablons spot at Le Conquet

28 kilometers from your spa hotel in Brest

Set off from Brest to explore a new surf spot just a 30-minute drive from the Best Western Plus Europe Brest.

Its 2-kilometer beach of golden, borderline white sand welcomes you for surfing and bodyboarding sessions. It's the perfect place to learn another water sport, in the peace and quiet of the countryside.

And there's no need to wait for high tide. Nevertheless, the most interesting waves are created at low tide or mid-tide. Be careful not to go too far north of the beach, or you'll get too close to the rocks.

Take time to admire the scenery when you're not on the beach. In the distance, you can see Ouessant and Molène on a clear day.

3. The Penfoul spot at Landunvez

29 kilometers from your Brest spa hotel

Also a 30-minute drive from Brest, Landunvez boasts an exciting surf and bodyboarding spot. The large golden sand beach is bordered by large rocks. You'll feel like a small child on this wild, natural playground.

Start with a modest dip in the wind, then strap on your board for a game of surf through the waves. Thrill-seekers will have a field day in the exceptional setting of the Iroise Sea.
