The Three Abers: a journey to the heart of the Breton estuaries

North of Finistère, Brittany reveals one of its most beautiful faces: the Three Abers. Three deep estuaries cut into the coast and plunge into the ocean in a landscape both wild and delicate.
The Aber Wrac'h, the Aber Benoît, and the Aber Ildut make up an ideal itinerary for discovering the region's natural and maritime riches.
Between tranquil rivers, luminous beaches, lively ports, and changing colors, you enter a typically Breton world.
From the Hôtel Le Barracuda & Spa**** in Brest, you can easily reach these three Breton wonders!
Aber Wrac'h is the largest of the three. Its Baie des Anges, wild islets, golden beaches, and wooded hillsides give it the feel of a Nordic fjord. Here, life is punctuated by the tides. From the coastal paths, your gaze will wander between small ports, forests, and peaceful villages.
South of Lannilis and Landéla, the little brother of Aver Wrac'h unfolds in a palette of glazing shades - a subtle blend of blue, green, and gray that epitomizes the Breton spirit.
Its 12-km long estuary winds between white sandy beaches, islands, and dunes.
From the hydrangea-blooming heights, you can admire Beniguet Beach revealing its turquoise waters. A truly postcard-perfect setting!
More secluded, Aber Ildut will charm you with its tranquility. Explore its ancient pink granite quarries and the port of Lanildut—Europe's leading seaweed port—before reaching its mouth in the Iroise Sea.
As you look toward the horizon, you'll have a breathtaking view of the island of Ouessant, just opposite.
A day spent by the sea can work up an appetite! You'll enjoy the cuisine at the La Croisette restaurant at the Hôtel Le Barracuda & Spa, with its panoramic sea views.
