Overview

The expanse of the beach and the low attendance (even in summer) makes it easy to rig your equipment. Be careful not to spread out too much though. The leftmost parking allows you to rig on grass, which is comfortable!
Freeride, sometimes waves at mid-tide/high tide. Beginners at low tide/mid-tide. West conditions (a bit irregular), northwest (top), north, northeast (top), east. The beach uncovers far and you can touch the bottom for a long time. It's protected from waves until mid-tide. A thermal wind often reinforces the northeast wind, particularly in summer, allowing you to gain a few additional knots. Environment, the beach is very large and bordered by dunes, making it safe for beginners. However, watch out for rocky islets here and there, and especially for overcrowding with windsurfers and kitesurfers.

Spot functioning

From Ploudalmézeau, take the direction to Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau. Cross the village while taking a quick glance to the right at the beautiful 16th century church (1/4 second cultural moment), and you're at the spot: several access points to the sea are possible depending on whether you go right or left of the stream. 
On the left, there are two parking lots: 
- 1 stabilized facing the beach (2nd parking from the left on the diagram), 
- 1 grassy, sheltered and warm (1st parking on the left on the diagram). 
Since the 1st parking is quite small and often full, prefer the 2nd one! You'll be warm, sheltered from the wind and the access to the spot is 50m away. These two parking lots constitute the main access to the spot. In summer and to avoid overcrowding, it is also possible to navigate at Coulouarn. Access to this beach is located between the village of Lampaul and St-Pabu, you need to turn right towards St-Pabu in the village of Lampaul, before the church. 
Outside of July-August, it is possible to park at the camping de l'eau (3rd parking on the diagram).
