Brittany- best beaches for young children rockpooling, calm sheltered bays/waters for swimming?

[zippyswife]

We're heading back to Brittany this summer. Last year we stayed in Quiberon and Trinite-sir-mer both were outstanding (I thought) for lots of little sheltered beaches bays where the dcs 2&4 could swim rock pool etc. I'd like to try a different area this year but still really want the beaches to be as good. Last year we had several beaches within walking/short drive and were totally spoilt- I'm just wondering if elsewhere in Brittany is similar. Thanks.

south brittany is our favourite area, partly because the weather is slightly better. the nevez area might be worth looking at.

I live near Vannes and am happy to help with this area if you like the sound of it. The Presqu'ile du Rhuys would by my 1st stop, but ask away & I'll try and help!

Bay de Trespasses is beautiful. The Atlantic coast is always quite choppy though.

Thanks all.

jen that looks lovely- could you tell me a bit more about it. What are the beaches like? Are they quite sheltered/calm? Are there places to eat crepes etc? The campsite there looks lovely!

trinite is in south brittany where vannes is though. isn't that where you've been before zippy? its a great area.

Trinite sur Mer is about half an hour north of Vannes, Quiberon about 40 minutes. The Presqu'ile is about 20 minutes South West, and a bit more sheltered because the Golfe du Morbihan protects it a bit

Have you looked at Carnac? Loads of little beaches away from the main beAch. We just love it there

St lunaire is lovely.

Thanks all for responses.

We've booked for Quiberon (stayed there before and fell in love with it) and near benodet for a change. Can't wait to go now!
