Pors Carn
Edit SpotAbout
Waouh ! it's wild, locals are friendly, waves can be perfect.
Additional Info:
It's the beach at the south of "La Torche". It's always empty but the waves are often better and hollower than La Torche. I don't know why it's underestimated. In fact, there's 3 areas on this beach. Just in the middle, at mid tide, near the boulders, you'll find a surprisingly hollow tube. Go the left of the beach when everything is closing out at La Torche: at this moment a fun right appears and it works even if the wind is WSW. In the middle of the bay, the outer reef holds until 5m. Never go alone ther because it one of the most dangerous area of Brittany.
