The Saint-Cast-le-Guildo peninsula is a delicious mix of immense sandy beaches, secret coves and exceptional panoramas. Framed by two bays, the Bay of Arguenon and the Bay of Fresnaye, Saint-Cast offers magnificent landscapes contrasted by cliffs, rocky coves and 7 fine sandy beaches.

If you prefer large expanses of fine golden sand, opt for the large beach or Pen Guen beach, and if you are looking for quieter coves, Mare beach or Pissotte beach will be the best choice. seduce you.

Fine sand and blue waters make up the coastline and will offer you a privileged setting for your holidays by the sea.

The peninsula is divided into different “neighborhoods”, both homogeneous and particular. Together they form the commune of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, but each has its own history and particularities. They are revealed during walks or bike rides.

Our Lady of Guildo

Since 1972, St-Cast has united with the village of Notre-Dame du Guildo, located on the bank of the Arguenon, thus becoming the municipality of St-Cast le Guildo. Former commercial port, the port of Guildo is today a small charming marina that you have to discover at high tide.

Aquatic walk

Three or four times a week, in Saint-Cast-Le-Guildo, on the Grande Plage, we observe a strange phenomenon... From time to time, we can see a small group of black silhouettes crossing the road which separates the swimming pool at the Grande Castine Beach. Like penguins, they approach the sea. Some hop on the table, turn right and left while the “chief” of the tribe gives instructions to the group.

Discover "The Castin Penguins"
