From Port Jean to Porh Puns. The beach of Port Jean is well appreciated in summertime, and you should pay a visit to Port Poyed to see the remarkable stone arch. Small creeks (Porh Kerzo, Porh Yzed) are preferred by people looking for a quiet place.

Of course, one of the most famous sites of Belle-Ile is the village of Sauzon, located on the left side of a ria (of more than one kilometer long). This natural harbour is well protected from the prevailing winds and is an appreciated mooring site for yachtsmen. Such a beautiful place is much sought after by photographers and painters. Some fishermen are based at Sauzon and supply every day the tables of Belle-Ile with fish, crabs and lobsters.
