Overview

Saint Tugen is a wild and little-known beach at the heart of the Cap Sizun, between Audierne and the Pointe du Raz. A low-key spot favoured by locals — surfers, bodyboarders and kiters seeking an unspoilt setting away from the crowds. Powerful, hollow waves. Intermediate to advanced level recommended. Best conditions on the rising tide with N/NE wind.
