Another mostly grey day but little pockets of sunshine here and there and no rain so all is good – oh yes and that ever present chilly wind is coming in from the sea so warm gear required. As we are good here on the Aire until 2 or 3 this afternoon (depending on how losing an hour overnight affects things) and we would like to take another look at Plage les Amiets and walk along and beyond to another couple of beaches, we packed the van moving on ready and set off walking….

It really is a beautiful beach, lovely semi crunchy (granulated sugar) white sand almost as far as the eye can see with the odd sea smoothed boulder here and there….

At the far end of the beach is Plage de Kerfissien with a wonderful little house perched on a granite outcrop – originally a customs officers dwelling….

Here we had to wander inland a bit to reach our next two beaches – Plage de Poulfoen and Plage du Click the latter much stonier than the others…

At this point we did an about turn and went back to fetch the van and continued a bit further up the coastline to visit Plage de Menfig….

Before moving on to our next Aire for the night in the small village on the outskirts of Plouescat, where once settled in we went for another walk to see what is on offer beachwise. We were not disappointed as we joined the coast at the amazing expanse of sand that is the Plage de la Baie du Kernic – stretching across the Anse du Kernic an almost completely encircled bay at high tide….

Around the corner and heading east along this largely seasonal village is the lovely sand Plage de Porsmeur….

Up and over another rocky outcrop and we have Plage du Port….

And finally the mostly rocky little beach of Plage de Pors ar Streat, looked over by a seahorse…

A pretty good day for beach walking and some pretty fab beaches.

Thoughts of the day:

• I wonder just how busy these stretches of fairly remote coastline get – there are fairly large looking campsites on the outskirts of many of these satellite villages but even so.
• I have called them satellite villages as they don’t seem to have their own names and are largely fairly modern looking – they are described as communes of a main inland village.

Today’s stats:

• Miles driven – 16
