Damgan, a seaside resort in the Morbihan department, in Brittany, stretches along a fine sandy coastline facing the Atlantic Ocean, at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. Twelve camping establishments are listed here, making it a particularly dense area, complemented by access to the Pénerf river that borders the town.
People camp here for long, little-developed beaches, ideal for swimming and board sports, in a setting still more unspoilt than other Breton resorts. The closeness of the Pénerf river, with its mudflats and oyster beds, adds a more intimate dimension to this stay by the Atlantic.
Damgan thus attracts families looking for beaches safe for children, as much as those who enjoy walks along the calmer banks of the estuary. The density of camping options here reflects the popularity of this area among holidaymakers seeking a coastline that's still fairly natural.
The Pénerf river, an estuary separating Damgan from the Suscinio peninsula, is a remarkable natural site, lined with mudflats and oyster beds where shore fishers and oyster farmers cross paths at low tide. Damgan's beaches, such as the Grande Plage or that of Kervoyal, offer long stretches of sand for swimming.
Right nearby, the Château de Suscinio, a former residence of the Dukes of Brittany restored with its medieval architecture, stands facing the ocean and is well worth the detour. The Gulf of Morbihan, with its islands and more sheltered atmosphere, naturally rounds out a getaway built around the sea and the coastal landscapes of the Morbihan.
Shore fishing, widely practised on Damgan's tidal flats at low tide, remains one of the most popular activities among families on holiday. The biggest tides, in particular, draw many enthusiasts each year in search of cockles and clams on the flats.
