Beaches & Nature in Carnac: Discover the Wild Coast and Coastal Hikes
A preserved environment just a few steps away from your location
Camping Les Druides enjoys a privileged location in Carnac, close to Beaumer beach and not far from the large family beaches of the bay. Here, nature is omnipresent: long stretches of fine sand, dunes, pebble banks, pine forests, marshes, ria, forests, and sunken paths make up a varied and soothing landscape.
Whether you want to lay your towel on a quiet beach, walk along the coastline, watch birds, or go on a long hike, you're sure to find an outing that suits your mood. Carnac and Quiberon Bay offer many routes that are accessible to families, on foot or by bike.
Family beaches, coves, and viewpoints
Around the campground, several beaches are perfect for swimming, children's games, and relaxation. Some are supervised during the season, while others are more wild and intimate. The coastline alternates between large stretches of sand, small sheltered coves, and rocky headlands offering magnificent views of the bay.
The articles dedicated to beaches and nature provide details on the location of each site, how to get there (on foot, by bike, by car), the type of atmosphere (family-friendly, sporty, wild), as well as nearby amenities: parking, restrooms, shops, restaurants, and water sports.
Coastal trails, long-distance hiking trails, and greenways
Lovers of walking and unspoiled landscapes particularly appreciate the coastal path and sections of the GR 34 trail that run along the bay. These routes offer superb panoramic views of the ocean, offshore islands, and dunes. Other walks lead to the isthmus, forests, or moors in the hinterland, offering a variety of settings.
In addition, there are greenways and cycle routes that make it easy to reach beaches, ports, and certain natural sites without having to take the car. Detailed information sheets help you choose the duration, difficulty, and type of route best suited to your level and that of your children.
