This family-friendly seaside resort combines fine sandy beaches, calm waters and a variety of activities in an unspoilt natural setting.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we love Cap Coz (and why you will too)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Its privileged location makes it a sheltered headland at the head of the bay of La For\u00eat-Fouesnant, and this is what particularly appeals to holidaymakers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A sandy beach<\/strong> with a gentle slope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waters protected from prevailing winds<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>South-facing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Blue Flag<\/strong>, a guarantee of bathing water quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The main beach stretches over <strong>4 km of white sand<\/strong>. Even in the middle of August, you&#8217;re sure to find your own quiet spot. It is supervised in July and August, and accessible to people with reduced mobility.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our favorite: sunrises<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re an early riser, treat yourself to a sunrise over the bay of Cap Coz. It&#8217;s a sight we never tire of contemplating: the first rays gradually illuminate the water, the boats are reflected on the calm sea, and you enjoy the almost deserted beach. A magical moment before everyone else arrives.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nautical activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Cap Coz is reputed to be <strong>&#8220;the cradle of water sports&#8221;<\/strong> in South Finist\u00e8re, and frankly, it&#8217;s no exaggeration. Its sheltered waters make it an ideal playground for all levels. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Cap Coz nautical center offers :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Equipment rental<\/strong>: windsurfers, dinghies, catamarans, kayaks and paddles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lessons and courses<\/strong>: beginners or advanced with qualified instructors (very friendly, we know them well).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Supervised walks<\/strong>: discover the bay in complete safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>As you may already know,<\/strong> the campsite also offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-les-saules.com\/en\/location-velo-fouesnant\/\">kayak and paddle rentals<\/a>, so you can explore the coast at your own pace, right from our Kerleven beach.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fishing on foot: an activity children love<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Cap Coz is a <strong>favorite spot for shore fishing<\/strong>. At low tide, the foreshore reveals its treasures: periwinkles, clams, shrimps and crabs hide under the rocks and in the sand. It&#8217;s the perfect activity to keep the whole family busy for a few hours.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Our advices :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drop in at reception, we have the tide times (favour coefficients above 70).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect minimum catch sizes and quotas (we have practical information sheets).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a bucket for your harvest and put the stones back in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask us about any health restrictions in force at the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hiking on the GR34<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The famous <strong>customs trail (GR34<\/strong> ) crosses Cap Coz and offers unmissable panoramic views.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our two favourite walks from Cap Coz<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Towards Beg-Meil (4 km &#8211; 1h30)<\/strong>: This walk along the landscaped corniche takes you from cove to cove to Beg-Meil. Along the way, you&#8217;ll discover the sublime Bot Conan beach, nestled in its own green setting. We&#8217;ve listed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-les-saules.com\/plages-beg-meil\/\">all Beg-Meil&#8217;s beaches here<\/a> to help you find them.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Towards Anse de Penfoulic (2 km &#8211; 45 min)<\/strong>: Shorter but just as beautiful, this walk takes you through a preserved natural area with birdwatching trails. Perfect when you want to alternate between beach and nature in the same day. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Do you prefer cycling?<\/strong> We offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-les-saules.com\/en\/location-velo-fouesnant\/\">bike hire<\/a> so you can discover Fouesnant and the surrounding area on the well-maintained cycle paths. Cap Coz is around 5 km from the campsite, a leisurely 15-minute bike ride. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Excursion to Les Gl\u00e9nan: a must-see!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>From Cap Coz, you can look out over the<strong>Gl\u00e9nan archipelago<\/strong>, with its turquoise waters reminiscent of tropical lagoons. We sell tickets directly at the campsite reception desk, and we can tell you that this is <strong>the excursion our guests most often cite<\/strong> as their best vacation memory. <\/p>\n\n<p>Several departure ports are available:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Port-la-For\u00eat<\/strong> (summer only): approx. <strong>1-hour crossing<\/strong>, closest to us<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concarneau<\/strong>: around <strong>1h to 1h15<\/strong> depending on the company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B\u00e9nod\u00e9t<\/strong>: about <strong>1h30<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Access period:<\/strong> The archipelago is accessible from April to September, with a maximum number of crossings in July and August.

Please also check with us about transport conditions, as each company has its own rules. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our top addresses for restaurants with sea views<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>After a day on the beach or hiking, we like to recommend these three places to dine overlooking the bay:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>L&#8217;H\u00f4tel de la Pointe du Cap Coz<\/strong>: gourmet cuisine with exceptional panoramic views (please make a reservation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Les Pieds dans l&#8217;Eau<\/strong>: a relaxed atmosphere where you can literally eat with your feet in the sand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>H\u00f4tel Belle Vue<\/strong>: their sunset terrace is absolutely magnificent<strong>.<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These three restaurants allow you to savor local specialties (seafood, freshly caught fish) while enjoying the view of the boats and the bay.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other beaches in Fouesnant: our selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Cap Coz is one of Fouesnant&#8217;s emblematic &#8220;three points&#8221;, along with Beg-Meil and Mousterlin. We&#8217;ve put together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-les-saules.com\/en\/beaches-fouesnant\/\">a complete guide to all Fouesnant&#8217;s beaches<\/a> to help you vary your pleasures: family beaches, wild coves, surf spots&#8230; There really is something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Our personal top 3 from the campsite:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plage de Kerleven<\/strong>: at the foot of the campsite, over a kilometer of fine sand. This is our beach, where we go every day in summer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cap Coz<\/strong>: 5 km from the campsite, our favourite for families with young children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beg-Meil and its creeks<\/strong>: 10 km from the campsite, for a wilder atmosphere and incredibly turquoise waters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When should you come to Cap Coz?

You&#8217;ll enjoy the best time of day with far fewer people. Plus, the light is magnificent at these times.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>September: our favorite time of year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The climate is still summery (16-20\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Much less crowded, more peaceful atmosphere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The light is magnificent for sunsets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seawater is still acceptable (15-16\u00b0C at the beginning of the month).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s the best time of year for hiking the GR34<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Camping Les Saules: the ideal starting point<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Located just <strong>5 km from Cap Coz<\/strong>, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.camping-les-saules.com\/en\/camping-cap-coz\/\">4-star campsite<\/a> really is the perfect base from which to explore the whole of South Finist\u00e8re. It&#8217;s not us who say it, it&#8217;s our guests who come back year after year. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>At your disposal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Heated water park<\/strong>: pool, slide and paddling pool for the kids (handy on rainy days or when you need some variety)<br\/><strong>A variety of accommodation<\/strong>: comfortable mobile homes or spacious pitches for your tents and caravans<br\/><strong>Bicycle hire and equipment<\/strong>: to explore the region easily without taking the car<br\/><strong>Strategic location<\/strong>: quick access to all the beaches of Fouesnant, Beg-Meil, Concarneau and more.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your questions about Cap Coz  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s the best beach at Cap Coz?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The main beach at Cap Coz (4 km long) is the most popular for its fine sand and calm waters. But if you&#8217;re looking for a more intimate atmosphere, we highly recommend the small coves on the path to Beg-Meil, particularly Bot Conan, which is absolutely sublime. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it safe to swim at Cap Coz with small children?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Absolutely, and that&#8217;s precisely why we recommend it to young parents. The gentle slope and sheltered waters make Cap Coz one of Finist\u00e8re&#8217;s safest beaches for toddlers. With summer supervision, you can really relax.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long does it take to do the trail from Cap Coz to Beg-Meil?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Allow around 1h30 for 4 km if you take a leisurely walk and enjoy the views. But allow more if you want to take swimming breaks in the creeks (which we highly recommend). With children, it can easily take 2h30-3h.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Parking at Cap Coz<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several parking lots close to the main beach, which charge in summer. Our advice: arrive before 10 a.m. in July and August to find a space easily. Or come in the late afternoon when people start leaving.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Cap Coz accessible by bike from the campsite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Yes, and it&#8217;s really pleasant. Just 5 km from the campsite, Cap Coz is easily reached by bike in around 15 minutes via little-used back roads. We offer bikes suitable for the whole family, with baby seats if required.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is the best time to see the Gl\u00e9nan from Cap Coz?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>On a clear day, you can see the Gl\u00e9nan all year round from the beach, and it&#8217;s truly magnificent. To visit them, the season runs from April to September. We recommend June (less crowded) or July-August if you want the warmest water. But honestly, September is superb too.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Cap Coz awaits you for a vacation where you can really get away from it all. Nature, idleness, activities&#8230; you&#8217;ll find your own rhythm. And from Camping Les Saules, you&#8217;ll have easy access to all the wonders of South Finist\u00e8re.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Any questions?<\/strong> Call us on 02 98 56 98 57 to plan your stay.
