Letty beach
West of « Mousterlin » headland, the salty grasslands of the "White Sea" are separated from the ocean by the dunes of "Kerler" beach. This space stretches to the "Letty". It used to be a mecca for shellfish gathering at low tide.
Entrance to Letty
This natural preserved lagoon is an outstanding spectacle. At each rise and fall of the tide, the ocean rushes in revealing new landscapes.
Les Vedettes de l'Odet
Anchored in Benodet in Southern Finistère, “Les Vedettes de l'Odet”, offer cruises on the Odet river and to the “Glénan” archipelago. You can embark in Bénodet as well as Loctudy, Port-La-Forêt, Concarneau and Beg-Meil, 2km from the campsite.
Le Coq lighthouse
Bénodet's lighthouses, « le Coq » (the cock lighthouse) and the «Pyramide», were built in 1848. Before then, vessels were guided into the harbour by the alignment of Benodet's windmill and a wooden beacon in the shape of a pyramid. The first large lighthouse was built on the same spot as the pyramid, hence its name. As for the "cock" it owes its name to a submerged rock which is in the shape of a cock.
The mouth of the Odet
At the end of its journey the Odet flows into the Atlantic, bordered by Sainte-Marine harbour to the west and Bénodet to the east. The "Pont de Cornouaille" bridge, an impressive work of art, links the two towns.
Odet river
The Odet river rises at about forty kilometers north-east from Quimper, in the heart of the “Black Mountains”. Its owes is title of the "most beautiful river in France" to its twists and turns.
The famous navigator Eric Tabarly set up home in “Gouesnac'h”, in one of these beautiful properties, where you would often see his yacht “Pen Duick” at anchor.
