Still showery and breezy but not too bad so we press on, taking a short hop to the Pointe de Pen-Hir where we felt the full force of the Atlantic breeze as we first took a closer look at the Croix de Pen-Hir….

A monument to the Free Bretons of France. A little further along the coastal path we had a good view of a natural archway standing proud against the Atlantic waves….

Crossing over the headland we took the coastal path down amongst the heather and gorse to Plage de Veryac’h….

Not much sand exposed as the tide is high but we continued along the path to find Plage de Lamzoz, a little cove in the middle of nowhere, hereto the tide has worked its magic on all the sand but what a sky!….

At this point we made our way back up to the van and ventured further down the west side of the Crozon Peninsula stopping briefly at the surfers beach – Plage de Kerloc’h….

Then on to the remote twin beaches, either side of a small headland, of Kersiguenou and Goulien both with just a couple of surfers out on the waves and otherwise not a soul to be seen….

More remote still and after a fair walk through scrubland and low dunes we arrived at Plage de Lostmarc’h….

And then following the coastal path up and over a headland the stunning stretch of dune backed Plage la Palue….

Time to head back into civilisation – that is the small town of Crozon to our overnight Aire with just a quick pitstop at Plage de Morgat…

A not so nice day but well spent me thinks.

Thoughts of the day:

• I wonder if these remote beaches ever really get busy – I would guess not as the parking situation would be less than ideal – ok for a few surfers and the odd tourist like me.
• On my travels I’ve noticed how well kept and full of fresh colourful flowers all the cemeteries are and they all seem to be in the towns and villages unlike in Scotland where the coast is littered with them.
