About Plage de Ty Bihan

Plage de Ty Bihan is a quiet Carnac beach west of the Grande Plage, before Pointe de Saint-Colomban. The route is a straightforward shore entry over sand with rocky edges and shallow water, which suits easy beginner exploration when the tide is favorable. Summer beach-club support adds convenience, but the point can still build current, so low-water timing matters.
