During your stay at Amoria Hotel, Sometimes, all it takes is a slight step away to discover another side of the Atlantic coast.
A little over an hour from La Baule, the Quiberon peninsula offers a striking contrast. Here, the landscapes become wilder, the relief more pronounced, the sea more alive. On one side, a calm and luminous bay. On the other, a wild coast battered by the winds.
It's an ideal destination for a day trip: walk facing the ocean, alternate between beaches and cliffs, have lunch on a terrace, take a boat trip to the islands, and return at the end of the day with the feeling of having truly breathed in some fresh air.
Exploring the Wild Coast: Quiberon's Natural Gem
This is often where it all begins.
The Wild Coast runs along the entire western face of the peninsula. A powerful, mineral landscape where the ocean crashes against the rocks in a constant motion. You walk there, you pause, you observe. And above all, you slow down.
It's one of those places where you don't do much, but where everything is experienced intensely.
The most beautiful spots: cliffs, arches, coves, and panoramas
Several points are worth considering:
- Port Bara, impressive and very open to the ocean
- White Port, plus accessible, perfect for a break with a view of the horizon
- Château Turpault, iconic silhouette posed between sand and rock
Each spot has its own light, its own atmosphere. The best approach is to take your time and stop several times.
Easy hikes and walks to recharge
The coastal path, known as GR34, far from all this part of the peninsula.
- Accessible to all
- Modular route (1h, 2h, or more)
- Constant ocean view
The tip: don't try to “perform.” Walk a bit, stop, then start again. It's in this rhythm that Quiberon is truly discovered.
Enjoy the beaches of the peninsula: relaxation or water sports
What makes Quiberon unique is that immediate contrast.
In a few minutes, we go from a rough ocean to a perfectly calm bay.

Surf, paddleboard & sail: the best spots to get active
For those who want a more active day:
- Surf the west coast, especially towards Port Bara
- Paddle along the bay, in the morning or late afternoon
- Sailing and water sports easily accessible
The right rhythm: alternate activity and rest. That's what makes the day truly enjoyable.
