Portivy and the Quiberon peninsula
Portivy is the little harbour of the wild coast, in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon, between Quiberon and the Penthièvre isthmus, in the Morbihan.
From the house, the coastal path (GR 34) follows the wild coast and its cliffs to the Percho headland and beyond. On the bay side, large sheltered sandy beaches are ideal for children; on the ocean side, the surf and kitesurf spots of Penthièvre, Port Blanc and Port Bara are among the most renowned in southern Brittany.
Hiking
The house sits right on the wild-coast hiking trail (GR 34), between coves and cliffs.
Surfing
Port Blanc, Port Ru and Port Bara are renowned beaches; to learn, head for the bay of Penthièvre.
Kitesurfing
The bay of Penthièvre and the bay side towards Carnac offer rich and steady conditions.
Diving
An excellent diving spot right from Portivy — ask for Gérard, who runs the Haliotis centre.
Fishing
Line fishing, shore fishing or from a small boat: the wild coast is full of great spots.
Food
On the harbour, Valérie and Pierrick’s welcome at the Bateau Ivre is second to none (+33 2 97 30 93 23). Nearby, le Rivage (+33 2 97 30 91 61) and La Mise à l’Eau (+33 2 97 30 74 11) serve the gastronomic treasures of the peninsula — book ahead!
Where is the house?
