Gâvres

The Grande Plage Gâvres Océan in Gâvres, southern Brittany, is an ocean-exposed spot that attracts riders for its fine sand and varied conditions. Located facing the island of Groix, it offers an open landscape with stunning views of the choppy sea. It is a popular place for locals for freeride and small waves, especially when the wind is well established.

The western part of the beach is well-sanded and accessible at all tides, except during the summer season when it is reserved for bathers. To the east, near the reinforced dyke, navigation is better at low tide. The spot alternates between flat protected water and choppy waves depending on the tide and swell.

With easy access from Lorient, it is a regular choice for freeride or wave sessions, in a friendly atmosphere shared with windsurfers and surfers.
