About
Tourony is one of the most photogenic beaches in Trégastel. On the bay of Sainte-Anne, it offers an iconic view of the Château de Costaérès, framed by pink granite boulders. The GR34 runs right behind the beach. The water, fairly sheltered by the islets and rocks, is good for kayaking and paddleboarding in calm conditions. At low tide, the beach gives way to the foreshore and the rocks, while on a rising or high tide the château is surrounded by water and the scenery becomes spectacular. Parking is limited in the area and can be difficult in July and August.
