Plage du Gored is a sheltered, south-facing cove located on the west coast of Île aux Moines in the Morbihan Islands. This site features a rocky reef structure that provides habitat for small fish and crustaceans. Due to the presence of breakwaters that form a natural basin, the water temperatures here are among the warmest in the Gulf, ranging from 10C in winter to 18C during the summer months. Access is via the shore, and the site is suitable for beginners due to the mild currents. Parking is available nearby. Snorkellers should be aware of potential hazards including jellyfish, sea urchins, and stonefish.
