- Sailing
- Windsurfing
- Fishing
Pénestin's Atlantic coastline is the place for sailing, windsurfing and fishing, so active families have plenty to try. At low tide the sea invites foot fishing, a favourite local pastime that turns every child into a young explorer. Ask the campsite team for tips on where to get started.
Pénestin lies on the banks of the Vilaine, and the estuary gives the area its special mix of river and ocean scenery. It is a lovely backdrop for walks and photos, and it adds a gentle, green contrast to the wild Atlantic coast.

Mine d'Or, Pénestin's best-known beach, is close by too.

Click to enlargeThe surroundings
Pénestin is pure Atlantic Brittany: more than 25 km of coastline, small quiet coves and a coastal path, all on the banks of the Vilaine estuary. Mine d'Or is the area's best-known beach. Inland, the setting turns wooded and green, with Brière Regional Natural Park about 18 km away and La Roche-Bernard 17 km away. A short drive brings you to the medieval walled town of Guérande and its salt marshes, 23 km from the campsite. Expect sea air, big skies and the sort of landscape that makes children want to explore.

Tip from our team
Book a seaside pitch if you can: some have a sea view, and the Pointe du Bile beach is right there. Check the tide table before heading down to the sand; at low tide, foot fishing is a real Breton treat for kids. The GR34 runs along the campsite, so lace up your shoes and follow it to the small quiet coves nearby. Mornings are for bread: order your bread and croissants the evening before, then collect them fresh for a proper holiday breakfast. Between May and September the outdoor pool is heated, so send the children down the 3 slides first and join them later. Parents of 4 to 12 year olds, rejoice: Chadokids starts from the spring holidays and keeps little ones happily busy. Guérande deserves a half day: stroll through the walled medieval town, then admire the salt marshes, just 23 km away. Wildlife lovers, point the car to the Branféré zoo park at Le Guerno, 21 km away, for an animal-filled afternoon. Evenings on the terrace of Breizh'Iles, with the Atlantic close by, are the perfect finish to a beach day. Arriving after hours? Give the campsite your number plate beforehand, so the barrier opens and a key envelope waits for you.

Meh“We spent 2 nights in the off-season, quiet campsite for this period but in high season it must be very noisy because the mobile homes are very close to each other and the pool is very small with a max depth of 1.20M... impossible to park your car next to the accommodation you have to go to a parking lot further away.... not practical... there have been some incidents at this campsite so it is not very reassuring, I will not go back, it is not worth 5*.”

Avoid at all costs“Sunday handymen. Ask for a mobile home without gas.”

Disappointing“I agree with the previous comments: it does not deserve its 5 stars! Pitches not well marked, pool way too small, and a manager who is as unpleasant as possible! Few activities, campsite split in two with a road to cross. The pool remains very nice, my son could stand everywhere, which was reassuring. The slides are very good. But I really expected something bigger given the photos.”
