About Guidel
Guidel is where the GR 34 coast path starts its stage towards Port-Louis, and the route mixes fine-sand beaches, dunes and flowering heath. Guidel-Plage is a small resort with about 5 km of beach, and its marina sits on the Laïta estuary. A green route through a protected natural site leaves Guidel-Plages along the coast towards Kerroc'h, with the island of Groix in the background. Fort Bloqué, on its rocky islet, is further along the path. The homes are spread over a few kilometres, mostly sleeping around five, and many have a garden.
Is Guidel right for you?
- Best for
- Coast-path walkers and beach families around Lorient
- Not for you if
- You want warm sea water, since this is an Atlantic beach on the Breton coast.
