Morbihan Gulf
The Morbihan Gulf is an inlet that extends 20km inland from the Bay of Quiberon, and is entered through an opening between two peninsulas (Locmariaquer is on the northern peninsula, and Arzon on the southern). the bay contains numerous small islands, and extends to Vannes in the east, and is a haven for wildlife, especially birds.
A popular destination with visitors, the two largest islands in the Morbihan Gulf off Brittany are the Ile d'Arz and the Ile aux Moines - the best view of these from the mainland is from the promontory on the northern shores of the bay at Pointe d'Arradon. These two islands can be visited and explored, but do get rather busy!
Another good place to explore from is Port Navalo, at the tip of the southern peninsula, which has a coastal path with some lovely views.
A boat trip is the best way to see the bay, and you will see other islands that are now submerged, some spookily still with prehistoric monuments still half-visible. Boats to explore the Gulf of Morbihan can be found at many of the towns around the gulf - Vannes, Port Navalo, Auray, La Trinité and Locmariaquer.
For swimming and beaches it is preferable to head west to the Atlantic Coast.
