Perros-Guirec · Côtes-d’Armor · France
Plage de Trestraou
You arrive to find the Côtes-d'Armor's largest resort beach cradled between rose-hued headlands and a palm-lined esplanade. The sand stretches wide and gold, sheltered enough for August swimmers yet open to the Atlantic's moods. Locals spread tartan blankets near the sailing club while children hunt crabs in tidal pools at the granite edges.

Questions people actually ask about Plage de Trestraou.
Is Plage de Trestraou safe for swimming with children?
Plage de Trestraou is generally excellent for families with children. The beach features lifeguard surveillance during summer months (typically July-August), and the sandy bottom slopes gently into the water. The bay's protected position offers relatively calm conditions, though Atlantic swells can occasionally create stronger waves. Blue Flag status indicates good water quality. Designated swimming zones are clearly marked, and a promenade separates the beach from traffic. The shallow waters near shore make it ideal for young swimmers, but always supervise children and check daily flag warnings before entering the water.
What is the best time to visit Plage de Trestraou?
June through September offers the warmest weather, with average temperatures reaching 18-22°C and water temperatures around 16-18°C. July and August are peak season with full amenities and lifeguards but larger crowds. May and early October provide milder conditions with fewer visitors, ideal for scenic walks along the Pink Granite Coast. Spring months (April-May) showcase beautiful coastline views with blooming flora. Winter visits suit those seeking dramatic seascapes and solitude. Sunset viewing is spectacular year-round, particularly in summer when the sun sets over the bay around 10pm.
