Surf: This Plouhinec beach became famous after pics of bodyboarders charging heavy 10ft barrels appeared in the press, despite it being a close-out most of the time.

Currents and rips get mean with size so it's no place for average surfers when it is overhead. Access: Paleolithic site nearby. Environment: Paleolithic site nearby.
