Turn left and follow the path to the base of the dune bordering the beach "Plage de Kermor".
Pathways allow you to climb the dune for an overview of the seafront and then descend to the beach.
Please respect these pathways, as the dune is fragile.
At the large car park on the left, pass a gate and continue along a tarmac section.
Bend right and cross the beach parking lot.

(7) Go down to the harbour, around the chapel (open to visitors in summer), past the Abri du Marin (sailor's shelter), identifiable by its pink architecture and colour, and up the stairs at the gable of the Café de la Cale. At the intersection, turn right into the street "Rue du Menez", which runs alongside a car park on the right.
