Locquirec commune, Brittany region. The beach is accessible by vehicle with parking areas available. Access points are marked with information panels.

Facilities

Information panels at beach access, parking areas, minimum two sanitary installations, safety information signage.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to Directive 2006/7/CE. Monitoring results track E. coli and intestinal enterococci levels at 90th and 95th percentiles. Historical data shows evolution in water quality classification. The beach has been subject to contamination episodes with monitoring conducted by the ARS (Regional Health Authority).

Risks

Chronic pollution from non-compliant autonomous sewage systems, particularly one installation in immediate proximity to the beach. Accidental pollution from stormwater networks with two discharge points west and northeast of the beach. Pontual pollution from vehicles and camping cars. Residual currents may transfer contamination from the Douron river, though dilution and pathogen mortality reduce germs during transit.
