The Quiberon peninsula, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, offers breathtaking sea views along its 14 kilometers. The beaches of the Quiberon peninsula are renowned for their turquoise waters and steep cliffs, particularly on the Côte Sauvage de Quiberon. They are ideal for swimming and water sports such as sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Quiberon is also one of Brittany's finest surf spots.
Moving away from the shore, Quiberon's landward side reveals a mosaic of green hills, wild moors and small villages. Hiking trails offer breathtaking views of the bay and surrounding islands, while the region's history and heritage are revealed through prehistoric remains and medieval forts. Small fishing ports and lively quays add a charming atmosphere, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and mingle with local life.
The Quiberon peninsula is also a haven of biodiversity, home to exceptional flora and fauna. The cliffs of the Côte Sauvage are home to rare species of plants and flowers, offering visitors the chance to explore these unique ecosystems while enjoying the view.
Accessible by ferry from the Quiberon peninsula, discover the 3 magnificent islands of the Bay: Belle-Île, Houat and Hoëdic.
