Experience fishing on foot in Quiberon Bay
When the sea retreats and the foreshore - the area of the sea exposed at low tide - comes into view, enjoy the simple pleasure of fishing on foot!
Fishing on foot is mainly practiced at low tide in rocky and sandy areas. This is the perfect time to go shell hunting. Check the tide times for the next few days.

Spring tides are a great opportunity for shellfish gathering in rocky and sandy areas. It is then the right time to go in search of shellfish and crustaceans.

Depending on the tides, you will find hulls, clams, razor shells and other burrowing clams! It is also an opportunity to enjoy the good Breton air, and to energise yourself, at one with nature.
