La Trinité Sur Mer is a sailing port east of Carnac, with a quay of seafood restaurants and some Carnac stones inside its boundary. Most homes are small, for two to four, and few have a private pool.
La Trinité-sur-Mer is mainly a port, with a seaside quay lined by seafood restaurants. About 1,800 people live in the commune, which split from Carnac in 1864. The Pont de Kerisper, rebuilt in 1956 after bombing destroyed the earlier one, links it to Saint-Philibert. Several Neolithic sites lie inside the boundary, including the Kerdeneven and Kermarquer dolmens and the Petit Ménec alignments. A shared pedestrian and cycle path runs along the beach to Carnac. The homes sit close together, mostly for two to four people, with some larger ones, and many have a garden. Next door in Carnac most properties are holiday homes, so expect a quiet stretch of coast outside summer.
Next door to the west, joined by a shared walking and cycling path along the beach, with five beaches and over 10,000 standing stones.
