A Spot of Fishing on a Brittany Camping Holiday
The fishing port of Audierne makes for an interesting day out when camping in Brittany. This area has beautiful stretches of coast with fine, white sand, and sparkling water to swim in. You can also enjoy the excellent, freshly caught, local seafood in a nearby restaurant, a delicious way to spend a few hours while on a camping holiday in Brittany.

Sunny Summer Promenades
If you want a slightly more commercial beach, with a promenade to walk along and shops close by to buy a cold drink, there are a number of beaches that will perfectly compliment your Brittany camping holiday. In the south east corner, the beach of La Baule makes for a great day of sun tanning, swimming and strolling along the promenade. The beach itself stretches for 4 miles, and small offshore islands make the scene fit for a postcard.
Opposite St Malo, the commercial yet beautiful beaches of Dinard await you when camping in Brittany. The main beach, Plage de l’Ecluse has a casino beside it, which makes for an entertaining day out on a Brittany camping holiday.

Brittany’s Wilder Side
If you want to experience the more natural beaches when staying in a Brittany campsite, there are several beaches that will suit your taste. On the Pink Granite Coast, you will find a number of beaches backed by fascinating rock and sand formations. While these beaches can be busy in summer, their natural beauty is astounding, and they are definitely worth a visit when on a Brittany camping holiday.
