Easy Walks for Families
For those seeking an accessible walk with stunning views.
The Arradon Coastal Trail (8 km)
This path follows the coastline, offering uninterrupted views of the Gulf islands, including Île aux Moines and Île d'Arz. Open to all, it winds past hidden coves, perfect for a waterside break. Along the way, you’ll pass local landmarks like the Pointe d’Arradon and the Pomper windmill. It’s especially beautiful at sunset, when the sea glows with vibrant colours.
The Conleau Peninsula Loop (10 km)
This trail links Arradon to Conleau, a small peninsula full of charm just outside Vannes. Between land and sea, the route offers spectacular views of the Gulf and its changing tides. The Conleau harbour, with its fishermen’s houses and seawater pool, makes a great spot for a rest. Ideal for a family outing, this loop also offers a swim in calm, sheltered waters.
Longer, immersive hikes
For those who love walking and watching wildlife
The hiking trail to Port Anna and Séné (15 km)
This hike offers a deep connection with nature. Follow the coast to Port Anna, then reach the Séné nature reserve, a protected area where many species of migratory birds find shelter. The trail winds through marshes and salt meadows, with a rich variety of landscapes and ecosystems. Bring binoculars to spot herons, egrets, and other wetland residents.
Whether you enjoy short scenic walks or prefer longer treks in the wild, Arradon and its surroundings promise an unforgettable journey through the Gulf of Morbihan.

Philippe’s Local Tips
Philippe, owner of the Sites et Paysages De Penboch campsite, knows the region inside out and gladly shares his top tips with guests.
“If you want to really enjoy the Gulf, head out for a walk at sunrise. The trails are still quiet, the light is stunning, and it feels like the landscape is all yours.”

And for food lovers, he has a few favourite addresses: “After a good hike, there’s nothing better than a hearty meal. For fresh fish, local markets are full of top-quality produce. And for crêpe lovers, there’s a place in the centre of Arradon that’s really worth a try!”
