Sports & activities in Trégastel
In Trégastel, sport comes with the sea as its playground and the pink granite rocks as its backdrop. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or simply looking for an activity to enjoy with the family, there are plenty of possibilities.
Water sports
The sea is, of course, Trégastel’s main playground.
Sailing, catamaran sailing, dinghy sailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding can be enjoyed from Grève Blanche and Coz-Pors. The Maison de la Mer offers courses, training sessions and equipment hire for different levels.
Sea kayaking is particularly magical here: it allows you to weave between the pink granite boulders, small coves and rocky islets.
Stand-up paddleboarding offers a more peaceful way to discover the coastline, with exceptional views of the rocks from the sea.
For watersports enthusiasts, the area also offers windsurfing and, depending on the conditions and local facilities, newer disciplines such as wing foiling.
Hiking & walking
The GR34 coastal path runs through Trégastel and offers beautiful routes between beaches, coves and granite landscapes.
A walk around Île Renote is a must: just a few kilometres are enough to discover some of the most beautiful scenery on the Côte de Granit Rose.
For those looking for a more challenging walk, the coastal paths allow you to continue towards Tourony, Ploumanac’h and Perros-Guirec.
Running & trail running
Trégastel’s coastal paths are a fantastic place to go running.
Imagine your morning run between Grève Blanche, Île Renote, the pink granite rocks and Sainte-Anne Bay.
The many paths and gentle gradients make it possible to create a wide variety of routes, from seaside trails to wooded paths.
Cycling
The Côte de Granit Rose is also a wonderful area to explore by bike.
The small roads of the Trégor make it easy to reach Pleumeur-Bodou, Île Grande, Trébeurden, Perros-Guirec and Lannion, while several cycle routes allow you to discover the coastline at your own pace.
For more experienced cyclists, the Vélomaritime cycle route crosses the area.
Shore fishing
At low tide, the shoreline becomes a wonderful playground for exploration.
Shore fishing is a fun and active family activity: you have to walk, search, observe and sometimes climb over a few rocks to discover the small creatures living along the coast.
It is a quintessentially Breton activity and a great way to introduce children to the coastline.
Coastal walking in the sea
For those who enjoy walking in the water, coastal water walking (longe-côte) is particularly well suited to Trégastel’s coastline.
Several outings offer the opportunity to enjoy this activity while taking in the beautiful seascape.
Archery
Trégastel also has an association dedicated to archery, an activity requiring precision, concentration and consistency.
Horse riding
Horse lovers can enjoy horse riding in Trégastel, with activities suitable for both children and adults: introductory sessions, improvement courses, rides and sporting activities.
Tennis & outdoor sports
Trégastel also has sports facilities offering tennis, padel and a range of other sports and leisure activities.
Whether playing with friends or family, it is a great way to vary the pace between two days at the beach.
Swimming
When the sea is too cool for swimming, or simply for a change of scenery, the Forum de Trégastel offers a seawater pool with heated seawater.
An excellent alternative after a hike or on a cooler day.
