Plage de Port Guen

It is a gently sloping beach, surrounded by rocks, located at the mouth of a valley. Sunny: you can swim there late in the afternoon. Its yellow sand is rich in beautiful and very diverse shells: littorines, gibbules, limpets or barnacles. These marine gastropods live in the thick belt of algae visible at low tide that characterizes the sheltered beaches on this side of the island. The richness of the marine flora explains an often significant sea line. To the right of the entrance, you can see the remains of the seawater pump shelter that served the "Petitjean" canning factory, set back from the road.
