Still heading north, you can discover the city of Brest before heading to the Abers Coast. This is a stretch of coastline named after the rias or estuaries that cut into the coast. It's actually an ancient river valley that was invaded by the sea when water levels rose. Discover Aber Wrac'h, Aber Benoît and Aber Ildut. Continue following the north coast to the magnificent beaches of Ménéham, Brignogan plages, Plonéour Trez and the Amiets beach in Cléder.

It's time to move on to Côtes-d'Armor and head towards the magnificent pink granite rocks of Ploumanac'h, enjoy the Trégor area and its lovely seaside resorts (Trébeurden, Perros-Guirec).
