Technical details of Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau - Les Trois Moutons Beach spot

Spot functioning

From Ploudalmézeau, take the direction of Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau. Cross the village and you are at the spot — several access points either side of a small stream. Main car parks to the left: one hardstanding facing the beach, one grassy sheltered park 50m from the water (use this when the first is full). Summer access also at Coulouarn beach between Lampaul and Saint-Pabu.

On the water

Flat at low tide — sea retreats over 500m revealing beautiful flat zones. Choppier at high tide. Some rocks visible at low tide — not dangerous. In autumn/winter, fine wave sessions from rising tide. A few oyster parks appear at low tide — keep clear.

Required level

Beginner

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Parking

Main car park GPS: 48.57045, -4.66413. Two options: hardstanding facing beach (often full) and grassy sheltered park 50m away — both to the left of the stream. In summer, additional access at Coulouarn.

Hazards

Small rocky stream next to the launch zone — avoid launching towards the stream, especially at high tide when the beach narrows. Always specify "Plage de Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau - Les Trois Moutons" (not Tréompan) when contacting rescue services.

Summer (Jul-Aug) at extreme west: school zone reserved with buoys. Eastern part: yellow buoys mark the bathing zone. Rest of the beach free for kite.

Wind specificities

Wind from W to NE is very regular — ideal NE. By South, wind is generally gusty. No obstacles downwind. Best: NE (flat, side-onshore). Schools use the west end of the beach in summer. Locals use the rest of the space.
