Trégastel with children: our ideas for family days out

Trégastel is probably the most family-friendly town on the Pink Granite Coast: sheltered beaches, rocks to clamber over, rockpools full of life, and everything within walking distance. Here are our ideas, tried and tested by our guests.

The beaches

• Coz-Pors and the Grève Blanche are lifeguarded in July and August. Coz-Pors, at the foot of the rocks and the aquarium, is the most practical choice with little ones.
• At low tide, the rockpools between the rocks are perfect for spotting crabs, shrimp and starfish. Please respect minimum sizes and put the rocks back where you found them.

See our guide to Trégastel’s beaches.

Outdoor activities

• The Renote peninsula: a walk of under an hour, spotting rocks with funny names along the way. Part of the paths are pushchair-friendly. See our guide.
• Kayaking and paddleboarding, with an adult, on calm waters.
• The Sept-Îles archipelago by boat from Perros-Guirec: the shorter, non-stop trip is often enough to delight the youngest visitors.

When it rains

• Trégastel’s marine aquarium, beneath the rocks of Coz-Pors. See our article.
• The Planétarium de Bretagne and the Cité des Télécoms, at the Parc du Radôme in Pleumeur-Bodou, just a few minutes’ drive away.
• The Village gaulois, also in Pleumeur-Bodou: check its opening days before heading there.

Kitting your children out properly

Wind and showers can blow in quickly by the sea. A proper rain jacket makes all the difference to a holiday: the Horizon Marin shop offers sailor-style rain jackets for babies and children.

A house designed with families in mind

At L’Anse Roz, everything is in place for little ones:

• a travel cot, two high chairs, a safety gate and corner protectors;
• a children’s bedroom with a bunk bed;
• books, comics, puzzles, board games and a PS4 console for evenings in;
• the beach less than 100 metres away, and the bakery right by the house.

Please note: the bedrooms are upstairs, and the house is not suitable for people with reduced mobility. Discover the house or check our availability: school holiday dates often get booked up early.
