Plage du Drehen

Drop anchor off Grande Plage du Drehen, a lovely stretch of white sand and coarse gravel near Larmor-Baden in the Gulf of Morbihan. At low tide the surrounding rocks emerge to create a striking lunar landscape, and the water stays remarkably clear throughout. The strong tidal range here means the scene shifts dramatically over the course of a day, so it's worth timing your visit to explore on foot when the tide pulls back.
