Several ways to fish, depending on your preferences
Fishing on the Côte des Légendes
From fish to shellfish to seaweed, to unearth these treasures of nature, slip between our legendary rocks, discover what's hidden beneath the sand or head out to sea!
With your fishing rod, your knife or simply with your hands, you'll see that this activity combines the pleasure of fishing with the discovery of our heritage.
Fishing on foot
Clams, prawns, cockles or even abalone... To appreciate our seafood, nothing beats the pleasure of tasting what you've caught yourself!
Armed with your rake or net, set off in search of the best the sea has to offer.
The tide
Butterfly minute! Before you set off, take a look at the tide tables.
If you're still mystified by tidal heights and coefficients, we'll explain everything!

Harvesting seaweed
What if you went in search of these new flavors that are gradually making their way into our gastronomy? A veritable concentrate of all the benefits of seawater, these sea vegetables are sure to delight your taste buds!
To find out more about the profession of shore algae harvester, and the techniques used to harvest them, we spoke to André Berthou, President of the Syndicat des Récoltants Professionnels d'Algues de Rive de Bretagne.
SO, ARE THEY BITING?
Seaside fishing
Shellfish and seaweed are nice, but do you want pollack or sea bass? The Côte des Légendes is yours for the taking... All you have to do is choose: climb the rocks in "roving fisherman" mode, or set down your equipment for a surfcasting session on one of the beaches.
Here, you don't need a fishing licence. Nevertheless, a good understanding of your fishing spot and the weather forecasts (tide times, winds, swell...) is essential for a successful outing... and to avoid finding yourself in an unfortunate position! We also invite you to keep abreast of current regulations.
Equipment
You're itching to go fishing on foot or by the sea, but you don't have a fishing rod or landing net, let alone rakes!
Fortunately, on the Côte des Légendes we have professionals who can advise you.
EMBARKING!
Sea fishing
Côte des Légendes has no fishing harbours as such, but rather anchorages. There are still a few professional fishermen, but there are very few of them on the Côte des Légendes. Fishing is more common in the Abers, Iroise and Côte des Sables regions.
Fancy leaving the coast to fish in the open sea? The Abers launches can accompany you on this adventure. All you have to do is let your captain guide you, and you're sure to have a great time!
