Hiking in South Finistère

The GR34 starts right at your doorstep: coastal walks in South Brittany

Yelloh! Village La Plage is one of the rare campsites with direct access to the GR34, the famous coastal path. Stretching over 2,000 km along the Breton coastline, the GR34 reveals some of its most beautiful sections in Penmarc’h. Along the way, you’ll discover the full diversity of Brittany’s landscapes: wide sandy beaches, hidden coves, rugged cliffs, characterful towns and iconic sites such as the Pointe du Raz. Accessible to all, the trail is particularly unforgettable at sunset.

The path runs along the dune, just a few metres from your accommodation, facing the Atlantic Ocean. No need for a car, no need to search for parking. Put on your trainers, cross the dune and let the ocean guide you. Welcome to South Finistère, in the heart of the Bigouden region.

Our favourite routes near the campsite

During your stay at Yelloh! Village La Plage, a 4-star campsite in South Finistère, explore the region on foot, by bike or even on the water. Stunning landscapes await you, just moments from the campsite — as long as you take the time to enjoy them.

From Saint-Guénolé to Kérity

This walk takes you from Saint-Guénolé to Saint-Pierre, at the foot of the Eckmühl lighthouse, passing by the remarkable Chapelle de la Joie, known for its architecture and sea views.

Behind the lighthouse, discover an old lifeboat from the early 20th century. Follow the coastline to the lively district of Kérity and stop at a bakery to enjoy breakfast by the ocean. Nature lovers can return via the marshes, home to birds and horses.

The Tulip Trail

Head towards La Pointe de La Torche, just 5 minutes from the campsite, between mid-March and April. This 2.5-hour walk takes you through fields of tulips and hyacinths, with views over the vast beach of La Torche, as well as the chapel and the famous Tronoën calvary.

The Steir coastal walk

Discover both Penmarc’h and Le Guilvinec along the coastal path, with panoramic views of the ocean and the Étocs rocks, home to a colony of grey seals. Don’t miss the church of Kérity, dating back to the 16th century. If you reach Le Guilvinec between 4pm and 5pm, stop at the harbour to watch the fishing boats return. You can also visit Haliotika, the fishing discovery centre, for an insight into the world of fishing.

La Pointe de la Torche

Just 5 minutes from the campsite, La Pointe de La Torche is one of the wildest and most spectacular natural sites in South Finistère. Prehistoric megaliths, vast sandy beaches and powerful waves make it a truly unique place.

Loctudy · Île Tudy · The ferry crossing

Loctudy, with its lively marina and 12th-century Romanesque church, is a must-see in the Bigouden region. Continuing along the GR34, you follow the estuary of the Pont-l’Abbé river to reach Île Tudy: narrow streets, white fishermen’s houses and the black-and-white Perdrix lighthouse.

For a unique experience, take the small passenger ferry from Loctudy to Île Tudy (10 minutes), then return on foot along dunes and polders — a gentle and timeless loop.

Audierne Bay · Pors Poulhan · the wild beaches of Cap Sizun

Heading north on the GR34 from the campsite, you reach the vast and unspoilt Audierne Bay, followed by the small harbour of Pors Poulhan.

Here stands the statue of the Bigouden woman, facing the ocean, marked with the inscription “Ama echu bro Bigouden” — “here ends the Bigouden region”.

Nearby beaches such as Kersiny, Gwendrez and Mesperleuc offer breathtaking and uncrowded landscapes. The prehistoric site of Menez Drégan is also worth a visit. Reaching Audierne requires a full day, with return by shuttle or car sharing.
