About

We all know that a surf session at Pen had is the best thing we can do together. In this place lie our hearts. Don't bring more than five friends, thank you for the others !

Atmosphere:
The place is BEAUTIFUL, just end the entry/exit of the Brest bay (secondth biggest bay in the world after Rio de Janeiro) and the fact is, even if the waves look nice and not too big...be aware that one of them, periodically, will take your board of your hands while duckdiving. Then, you will say to yourself : Wow... It's not strange, it's just like that : the waves at Pen had are like a lady : beautiful and styled but stronger than you. POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. Stay with your kids if they want to surf or swim (even in shallow waters).

Additional Info:
Once you have parked the car, have a look before you go. Check the currents (local danger, as in any beachbreak, is the baïnes). CURRENTS can be STRONG and LIFE THREATENING, even for no particular reason. Drown people occur nearly each year and just a few years ago, it was kind of a taboo beach : too vicious. If possible, come here in the morning of a weekday and it will be all for yourself.
