Nautical activities

At sea or on a river, the stand-up paddle spots are numerous in the Saint-Brieuc bay. Some favourites are Tournemine beach and the Saint-Barthelemy lake. Rent your paddle with Lud’eau and the bay’s nautical centres.

Kayaking is one of the best ways to discover the Saint-Brieuc bay and admire beaches and cliffs from the sea. Set off from the secretive Martin beach. Rent a kayak with Lud’eau or go on an excursion with the MJC du Plateau club.

Set sail and take lessons from the Plérin Tournemine nautical centre close to the Rosaires beach or the Pôle nautique Sud Goëlo at Binic-Etables-sur-mer and Saint-Quay-Portrieux. Choose your vessel: catamaran, dinghy, windsurf… Find what suits you best.

Windy Brittany is the perfect place to practice kiteboarding, a sport for adrenaline addicts! From Erquy and the whole Saint-Brieuc bay, learn from the best at the O’Rider school.

The Saint-Brieuc bay has some good waves! Take your surfboard to the Port Goret beach in Tréveneuc or head to the beaches from Cape Erquy to Cape Fréhel. Master all the surfing techniques with the help of the Storm Surfing surf school.

Have you heard of sea wading? It is a newish and very popular activity in France. Its healing properties attract people of all ages on our Breton beaches. The long sandy beach of the Rosaires is the perfect place to practice that sport all year round whether you are by yourself or with a group of fellow sea waders. If you want to join a group of sea waders, contact the Plérin Tournemine nautical centre.

The Saint-Brieuc ocean floor is quite exceptionnal. Witness underwater dunes and a plethora of fish with the help of Armor Plongée. Some of the best spots are the Saint-Quay islands and the shipwrecks of the Saint-Brieuc bay. If you prefer staying on the surface, snorkeling might be better suited for you.
