Beach seen from the Grand Rocher
From the bay of
St Efflam there is a coastal path leading out of the western end
of the bay past several small rocky bays with sandy beaches up to
Toul en Hery. Continuing around the coast brings you to the charming
port of Loquirec. There are three beaches here and a little harbour,
Les Sables blancs being a favourite spot with a small creperie at
the end of the bay, rock pools and a back drop of pine trees.
Follow the Bay
of St Efflam east to St Michel en Greve. The Hotel du Plage has
a wonderful balcony over looking the bay especially beautiful at
sun-set.

Leger at Lannion and follow the of pink granite coast with its huge
