Visit Five Finger Strand beach

A magnificent beach, ideal for a change of scenery and an escape!

Five Finger Strand has the merit of being an unspoilt beach with a protected wilderness environment. The result is a magical place, as if lost at the end of the world, free from the noise of the surrounding civilization.

The water is magnificent, and depending on the time of day, offers magnificent colors ranging from deep navy blue to turquoise green. A word of warning, however: these waters, however beautiful they may appear, will always be cold! It’s a good idea to bring a wetsuit, or prefer to venture out in summer!

As for the sand, it’s ideal for those who love sandcastles, lounging and napping!

But the ultimate is the landscape as a whole. From this beach, you’ll see the Atlantic Ocean pass through a narrow strait, to sink further inland. The water rushes through this narrow passage, revealing other equally grandiose landscapes nearby. Don’t hesitate to take a stroll along the land: you’ll be fascinated by the spectacle!

In short, Five Finger Strand is a magnificent beach that promises great moments to share with family, friends or just the two of you (it’s a pretty romantic spot!).
