As we began our walk, we were delighted to come across a smaller menhir. Despite its size, we found the peace and solitude we were seeking, which we couldn't find at the busy Pointe de la Torche. We were lucky enough to capture a photo of three corvids flying past the menhir. Continuing on to the beach, we were able to see the Pointe de la Torche menhir in the distance. The photo we took of the still-wet sandy beach with the clouds reflecting on it is one of my favorites. On our way back to the car, we passed through a dune landscape that reminded us of Jutland. Overall, Pors Corn beach was one of the most beautiful spots we saw around Penmarch that day.

This beach is a small slice of paradise, especially during sunset. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves surfing and sliding.

This beach is located between Saint Guenolé and La Torche and is prohibited for swimming except on the Saint Guenolé side. On the other side, there is no surveillance, strong currents, and presence of baïnes, so it is reserved for kitesurfing. The beach is vast with moor, previous dunes, and sand. It is a wild and unspoiled place. At low tide, it has a width of around half a kilometer of fine sand, perfect for morning walks. The foreshore is wide and full of curiosity, and the rocky parts are an incredible biotope that the ocean reveals in the morning. There is an important colony of common terns, making it a favorite beach for many. The sunsets are divine!
