Park in the small car park near the Pen Castel tidal mill.
(S/E) Then cross the dyke separating the Pen Castel Lagoon from the bay. As soon as you leave the dyke, turn right onto the coastal path towards Pointe Saint-Nicolas (GR®34). Do take the time to admire the seascape, of course, and especially the magnificent Lambert cypresses lining the path.
(1) At the headland, continue along Anse de Kerners.
(2) Walk along the beach and rejoin the coastal path on the other side. After passing a campsite, the path winds through the pine trees and, after Pointe de Kerners, runs alongside small beaches to reach a car park nestled in the cove.
(3) Stay close to the gulf and continue along the coastal path to Pointe de la Palisse, then on the other side to a small grassy plateau with two benches. The ideal spot for a picnic.
(4) Turn your back on the gulf and look for a field entrance in the hedge. Head through this gap and follow the path that runs along the right-hand side of the field. It isn’t very visible but is definitely there and will lead you to another path, bordering on a farm track. Take it to the right. This turns left and comes to a hairpin bend to the right.
(5) Ignore the track branching off at the bend and head right. You’ll come to two houses and a tarmac road. 50 metres further on is the covered passage known as the “Dolmen du Grah Niol”
(6) After taking the time to explore the site, retrace your steps back to the hairpin bend.
(5) Take the farm track to the right, then at the first junction, continue left and at the next, take the footpath to the right. You’ll find the car park along the beach at the end of the cove.
(3) Take the last track on your right, which quickly leads to a new road (Rue de Bilouris). Cross it by first turning right then left to take the path opposite (Chemin du Ster). At the T-junction, take the left-hand branch, Rue de Raker Ac, then left again (Rue de la Pointe). Finally, turn right fairly soon onto Rue des Vierges to reach the beach.
(2) To return to the car park, retrace your steps along the path you took at Pointe Saint-Nicolas in the opposite direction. The trees and the scenery are well worth the effort. As you leave the headland, turn left, cross the sea wall and head for the car park at the Pen Castel tidal mill (S/E).
