About
Kerfany is the family beach of Moëlan-sur-Mer. At the mouth of the Bélon, it offers fine sand, usually calm water and a gentle slope. There are games at the back of the beach, and several centres offer sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding. The coastal path runs right along the beach. The town announces lifeguarded swimming in July and August, from 1.30 pm to 7.30 pm. In 2026, Kerfany benefited from major accessibility work: a restored wooden boardwalk, a non-slip mat down to the water’s edge, an adapted picnic table, a safe path to the toilets, disabled parking spaces and redesigned parking. Dogs are banned from Kerfany under the current municipal order.
