Nestled at the mouth of the Pont-l’Abbé river, just a stone’s throw from Les Saules campsite, Île-Tudy awaits you. Let yourself be charmed by its picturesque lanes, thatched fishermen’s cottages and sandy beaches bathed in turquoise water. In 2024, Île-Tudy was voted ninth in the “Village préféré des Français”, a title that rewards its charm and authenticity.
Île-Tudy is also famous for its spectacular sunsets. From the cove and all along the shore, you can watch magnificent sunsets over the Pont-l’Abbé river. Colors and shapes change with the movement of water and clouds.
L’Île-Tudy is also a charming little port where you can stroll and watch the fishing boats. The fishing museum tells the story of this traditional activity. Local markets offer fresh, tasty local produce. Restaurants and crêperies invite you to sample local specialties.
And throughout the year, events and festivals await you to help you discover local life.
Fancy a spot of idleness? The Sillon beach, with its fine sand and turquoise waters, is the ideal place for the whole family to relax. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, paddling or sailing. For hikers, the customs trail offers spectacular panoramic views of the coast and the Glénan archipelago.
L’Île-Tudy has a rich and fascinating history that is whispered along its narrow streets. Once an island battered by winds and waves, it wasn’t connected to the mainland until 1852, thanks to the Kermor dike. This island past has forged its unique character and authentic soul. Explore the vestiges of its past, from the 16th-century Chapelle Saint-Tudy to the calvaries and crosses scattered across the landscape.
For the more inquisitive, discover the Abri du marin, created by Jacques de Thézac, which was a place to meet, study, entertain and fight alcoholism. Pass by the former “Divanach” sardine cannery, now occupied by the Île-Tudy nautical center, and the 18th-century granite barge master’s house. You can also discover the atypical 19th-century tower house.
Don’t forget to visit Rue des dentellières, named in honor of Soeur Suzanne Vidélo, who ran an embroidery and Irish-stitch lace workshop. You can also discover the island’s smallest house, located at N°8 rue de la Poste.
Nearby, don’t miss the town of Pont-l’Abbé. You can also explore the fishing villages of Loctudy and Penmarc’h, and be enchanted by the wild beauty of the Pointe du Raz or the Pointe du Van.
