About
Trez Bellec is the main beach of Telgruc-sur-Mer and one of the most family-friendly on the Crozon peninsula. About two kilometres from the village, it stretches for about 1.5 km of fine sand, facing due south and fairly sheltered from north winds. The tourist office presents it as the local go-to spot for land yachting, a family activity particularly suited to its huge foreshore at low tide. The beach is also popular for shore fishing at spring tides, sailing and the activities of the water sports centre. The 2025 annual water quality rating is excellent. A small slipway is one of the authorised access points for professional wedge clam fishers.
