Plage du Loch
France · Bretagne
The Loch beach in Locmiquélic, in southern Brittany in Morbihan, is a long stretch of fine sand facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is a spot known for its exposure to consistent winds and its frequent sliding sports competitions. Near Guidel and Lorient, it attracts riders looking for freeride or wave sessions.
On the other side of the road, the Loch ponds offer a calm contrast, but it is on the main beach that one navigates. The atmosphere is lively in season with supervised swimming in July-August, and the typical Breton landscape with dunes and the nearby Laïta river.
Easy access from Locmiquélic, it is a convenient place for locals from Lorient looking for an exposed spot without too many complications.

The Loch beach is oriented facing west-southwest, making it ideal for side-shore to side-on winds coming from the northwest or west, typical in Brittany. With west winds, it is often onshore but manageable on this large exposed beach. Launching takes place directly from the fine sand, wide even at high tide, with a takeoff area at the water's edge away from the roads.
The water state varies with the tides: at low tide, you can stand for a long time on the flat sandy bottom, perfect for beginners inflating; at high tide, the navigation space opens wide without immediate obstacles. Navigation areas extend for several hundred meters along the beach, with the possibility of freeride or small waves from the southwest swell. Be cautious of marked swimming zones in summer, to be strictly respected to avoid conflicts.
Local feature: the spot is exposed to groundswells from the southwest that generate consistent waves (rights and lefts), but summer is often flat. Prefer sessions off-season for more freedom, and check zoning signs near the lifeguard station.
