Among the beaches of Groix, this is the most northerly of the island. Indeed, it is located just before the village of Quelhuit and not far from the Pen Men lighthouse. Poullziorek, often called “ Tahiti beach“, is located at the level of a small cove that is relatively difficult to access and inaccessible at high tide. However, at low tide this small beach with white sand and turquoise water gains all its “Tahitian” charm.

Full of charm, Porh Koustic is hidden between Pointe des Chats and Sables Rouges. You will undoubtedly have a great time with family, friends or lovers. Furthermore, at low tide, a mysterious sandy passage appears on the right, giving a view of Pointe des Chats.
