Since 1967, surfing in Quiberon (and even Breton) is very present on the west coast.

The particuliarity of the Quiberon coast is its North-South exposure.

The interior of bay of quiberon, and thus the East coast are, with the length of the year, as agitated, level swells, as the lake Lemman. Belle Ile (Beautiful Island), the passage of Teignouse, breaks all swell and thus offers a ground privilegiate place for sailing and funboard.
But not with surfing!

Therefore remains the exterior of Bay, the West coast.

Crevet

The Great Range

This beach ,facing to the Atlantic Ocean, from the southern extremity to the fort of Penthievre, is a sand and regular coast.

From Penthievre to Etel, an immense sand range and interminable dunes! (the only promoters immobilliers has to have succeeded to build on this surperbe dimension having ete drives out 50 years ago due to war...)

The whole of these beachs-breaks remains complement virgin of any construction (no fast-food,no supermarket,.. ).

Nevertheless this lack of " civilization " means also lack of serious infrastructure of security and of access.

Port Blanc

The wild coast

This semi-rock dimension, semi-sandy, offers to surfing a ground privilegied because of many sand banks.

They are rather numerous and are sometimes rather dangerous. Nevertheless the quality of the waves is rather exptionnelle.
