About
The Pointe de Trévignon is one of Trégunc’s most iconic landscapes. Around the harbour and lighthouse, beaches, coves, dunes and protected coastal ponds follow one another. Trévignon beach is as much a swimming spot as a gateway to the headland, the nature reserves and the coastal path. Kersidan is the town’s big family and water sports beach, while Trévignon keeps a more natural, scattered character. Swim with care and do not assume there is a lifeguard. The site is excellent for photography, snorkelling in calm seas and walks to the ponds and nearby beaches.
