Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de l'ile Vierge (Finistere) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage de l'ile Vierge (Finistere) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage de l'ile Vierge for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

It's clear that visitors are not currently allowed at this beach, and honestly, it's probably for the best. It's unfortunate that humans have a tendency to ruin beautiful things, so I appreciate the local authorities for making the decision to protect this natural wonder for future generations. Hopefully, one day it will be open again. In the meantime, I would recommend checking out the gorgeous beaches at Morgat and Lostmarc'h.

This beach lives up to its high rating with stunning waters, picturesque scenery, and steep cliffs that come with a warning not to climb down. To access the beach, renting a kayak is necessary, but the view from there is worth it. We were lucky to visit during low tide and fully appreciate the beauty. However, paddling is not my cup of tea.

Wow, we embarked on a 14km hike that began at the parking lot of the virgin island beach and took us around both sides of the peninsula. It was truly spectacular.

Wow, this beach is truly incredible. From navigating through the lush jungle to descending down the slightly treacherous path to the shore, the experience was unforgettable. The vista from the hilltop was absolutely stunning, with the raw, natural beauty of the water taking my breath away.
