About
The Grève Blanche is one of the most family-friendly beaches in Trégastel. Its fine sand, its closeness to the GR34 and its water sports make it a very versatile beach. Swimming is lifeguarded in July and August by qualified lifeguards. The Club Nautique de Trégastel offers dinghy sailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, for beginners and improvers. The often clear water also lets you see the granite boulders from a spectacular angle by kayak or paddleboard. Every summer, the beach is the starting point of the 24 Heures de la Voile, a big local event. In 2026, water monitoring ran from 15 June to 15 September and confirmed an equipped site with drinking water, toilets, wheelchair access and a first-aid post. The town rule for dogs is: allowed from 1 October to 30 April, banned from 1 May to 30 September.
