Port-Manec'h

A small harbour and beach at the mouth of the Aven River, where Pont-Aven School painters once worked, with superb coastal path views.

Port-Manec'h sits at the shared estuary of the Aven and Belon rivers, surrounded by a small lighthouse, beaches and pine woods. In the late 19th century, Pont-Aven School painters such as Moret came here to paint outdoors. The estuary path overlooks the river bends, and GR34 runs west to Kerascoët and Raguénès beach. In summer you can swim and go boating. Entry is free, and the harbour lies about 10 km from Pont-Aven.
