Locquirec and its beaches

A small seaside resort, Locquirec is the gateway to Finistère when arriving from the east via the north coast. The D142 crosses the Douron, which marks the boundary between the Côtes d'Armor and Finistère.
During this walk, before reaching the golden sandy beaches, you will discover the rocky Pointe du Corbeau and then, inland, beautiful second homes, before arriving at the small fishing port and ending at the second rocky point: Pointe du Château.

Description of the walk

Park in the Porz Biliec beach car park

(S/E) Leave the car park by taking the departmental road (D64) on the right.

(1) Take the path on the right and follow theGR®34(red and white markings). Go around Pointe du Corbeau and continue along the path to Rue des Sables Blancs.

(2) Continue slightly to the right, crossing a sandy area that runs alongside Sables Blancs beach.
At the end, walk along the car park and take the path opposite.

(3) Ignore a path on the left (junction with another route). Continue to follow theGR®34until you reach a group of houses. Turn right to arrive at Moulin de la Rive (you can stop on the benches to admire the landscape).

(4) Take the D64 on the left for 300 metres.

(5) Turn right towards Keraloas and continue straight on this road.

(6) At the crossroads, turn left towards Kerboulic. Go through Kermaquer and at the fork, turn right onto Rue Mespant, which leads to Route de Plestin (D64). Follow this road to the right for 50 metres, then take the path on the left that heads north. Follow the shore to return to Route de Plestin, which you follow for another 50 metres.

(7) Turn left onto Rue Pen ar Bed (Finistère), which climbs back up towards the village. At the end, turn right onto Route de Kerboulic and continue straight ahead.

(8) Turn right onto Rue de la Vieille Côte, then turn right at the 5th street, Rue de la Rampe.

(9) Cross the main road and take the stairs opposite. Turn left into Venelle de la Douane to reach Place du Port. Walk around the square (car park) to admire the harbour and perhaps enjoy a drink or snack in one of the establishments lining it.

(10) Turn right. After the post office building, take the street on the right, Place de la France Libre, then Chemin de l'Ile Verte, which is a continuation of the same street. Continue along this road to go around Pointe du Château. Chemin de la Pointe leads back to the car park at Porz Biliec beach (S/E).

The appeal of this route is that, in addition to following part of the GR trail along the coast with its splendid views, it invites you to explore the village by taking you through the outlying neighbourhoods and the centre, where we were able to admire some pretty houses. We found it interesting to discover LOCQUIREC as a whole. We cannot comment on the signposting as we followed the GPX track. This route is recommended as it is. Thank you to the Breton hiker.

At the point (4), take the path on the right before the bend to avoid the D64, which is dangerous at this point. It joins the Keraloas road

I walked there and back along the coast, without going inland, to make the most of the sea view. It's very pleasant in both directions.
Like the previous hiker, I regret that the GR markings are not always visible, and I don't think the hike deserves to be described as "easy" because some sections are a little more difficult with poorly cut or very uneven steps.

We did part of this hike starting from the "fond de la baie" campsite to the mill on the shore. The coastline is superb, ranging from more popular areas (the campsite along the dune, the harbour, the tower at the tip, the white sand beach) to wilder areas (the tip of the castle, from the white sand beach to the mill on the shore).
It is possible to walk there and back on the same path, as the landscape looks different from one direction to the other. The tide changes the landscape between the outward and return journeys!
Having completed the circular route, I found the inland part of the route to be of little interest!
In July and August, free summer shuttle buses run every twenty minutes, allowing you to do this hike in one direction, starting from Île Blanche and/or arriving at Poul Rodou beach.
Obviously, you can do it in either direction!

part of the walk along the coastline is lined with hedges, so visibility is poor, which is a shame. But there are still some beautiful views and you pass through hamlets where you can see pretty houses and gardens

At the exit of the car park, the GR34 follows the road. After a few dozen metres, it turns right onto a path.

A magnificent walk between the majestic coastline of Locquirec and the pretty houses with flower-filled gardens in the village.
Please note, however, that the description of some stages is unclear, particularly the first one, as the path indicated no longer exists and you have to walk along the road before reaching the GR34!

Sorry about the signposting, but Visorando is not to blame, and perhaps it didn't exist when this route was published... Did you have the written description to complete the map?

The hike is poorly signposted and lacks directional signs, but the site is still magnificent. The map helped us find our way back, but we ended up shortening our hike.

The seaside is very pleasant... the roadside is uninteresting and quite dangerous with children.
