General presentation
Côte de Granit Rose
Pink granite chaos, beaches, lighthouses, ports and very photogenic marine landscapes.
To understand what the Pink Granite Coast is, look at Ploumanac'h, Customs Trail and Pink Rocks. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline and natural spaces and allow you to pass from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: weather variable. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Coastal village
Ploumanac'h
Ploumanac的h combines coastal village, sheltered port and chaos of pink granite carved by the sea. The walk takes its full relief along the trail, when the rocks change shapes and colors according to the light, between moors, coves and views of the islands.
Coastal walk
Sentier des Douaniers
The Trail of Customs reveals the Côte de Granit Rose as close as possible, between rounded blocks, coves, lighthouses and low moors. We move forward without the need for performance: each turn offers a different composition, especially beautiful when the sun shaves the stone.
Beach resort
Trégastel
Tregastel offers a soft and very family version of the Côte de Granit Rose, with beaches, accessible rocks and views of the islands. The resort lends itself as much to swimming as to a quiet walk, especially at low tide when the landscape opens wide.
Phare
Phare de Men Ruz
Men Ruz's lighthouse, set in the middle of the pink rocks of Ploumanacs, gives one of the clearest images of this coastline. The visit is mainly from the nearby trails, where granite, sea and the silhouette of the lighthouse make up a very changing landscape.
