Villas in Plouha
Plouha suits walkers who want the high Goëlo cliffs, the GR34 coast path and small coves, with homes spread around the town. Beaches here are coves, not long strands: Port Moguer is pebble and reached by a path that floods as the tide rises, so families with small children must plan around the tides.

About Plouha
Plouha is a town of about 4,600 people with 14 km of rocky coast, where the Pointe de Plouha rises to 104 metres. The GR34, the old customs officers' path, passes north of the point, and the coves along this coast once served smugglers. At Gwin Zegal boats still moor to tree trunks, one of the last harbours of its kind. Plage Bonaparte is where more than 100 Allied airmen were taken off by sea to Dartmouth in 1944. Inland, the 13th-century chapel of Kermaria an Iskuit has a danse macabre painted in the 15th century. The homes are spread around the town. Evenings are quiet.
