Île de Groix

Groix is an island and a commune in the Morbihan department of the region of Brittany. 

 

Groix lies a few kilometres off the coast of Lorient.

Several ferries a day run from Lorient to Groix.

 

There are a few small towns on the island.

High cliffs are on the  north coast and sandy beaches on the south coast.

 

Groix is also home to a wide variety of sea birds.

Groix is also famous for hosting the only convex beach in Europe, which also moves following sea currents. 

Port Tudy is the island’s largest fishing and yachting harbor.

 

It is home to the ferry that links the island with the mainland(Lorient and Port-Louis).

 

Although the harbor is no longer used by trawlers, it is home to a large number of pleasure boats, shuttles between the island and Lorient, and water cabs.

Information about the boat transfers.
