About Santec
Santec is a small commune of about eight square kilometres on the north Finistère coast, with a dune and two beaches, Dossen and Theven. Offshore, the Île de Sieck is private, with a ruined pavilion and an 18th-century sentry box. Theven beach is an excavation site where Bronze Age graves were found. Second World War bunkers are scattered along the coast. Most homes have a garden and sleep around four, and none has a pool or sauna. The surf and kayak centre on Dossen beach runs from March to November, so check what is open before a winter visit.
