Pen had Access
  The main city close to this spot is the coastal city of Camaret; from there take direction "pointe du Touliguet". There's only one road to get there and from atop the hill, the view is absolutely fabulous. The spot of Pen had is the cove on your left.

Additional Surfing Infos
 Once you have parked the car, have a look before you go. Check the currents (local danger, as in any beachbreak, is the "baïnes"). CURRENTS can be STRONG and LIFE THREATENING, even for no particular reason. Drown people occur nearly each year and just a few years ago, it was kind of a taboo beach : too vicious. If possible, come here in the morning of a weekday and it will be all for yourself.
  Overview
  Atmosphere The place is BEAUTIFUL, just end the entry/exit of the Brest bay (secondth biggest bay in the world after Rio de Janeiro) and the fact is, even if the waves look nice and not too big...be aware that one of them, periodically, will take your board of your hands while duckdiving. Then, you will say to yourself : Wow... It's not strange, it's just like that : the waves at Pen had are like a lady : beautiful and styled but stronger than you. POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. Stay with your kids if they want to surf or swim (even in shallow waters).
  General We all know that a surf session at Pen had is the best thing we can do together. In this place lie our hearts. Don't bring more than five friends, thank you for the others !

300 surfers for Pen Had ! (august 2007)
in french :
www.CathaySeas.com/300.htm

The local council may decide to forbid surfing at Pen Had because it is supposed to bring beach-goers and swimmers, against all the postsigns warning of dangerous currents and 'Swimming forbidden'.
We want rescue stations in this area, we want swimmers alive and the right to surf !
JOIN US IF WE NEED TO GATHER 300 SURFERS on the beach, should the council decide to forbid surfing.

BAD
Bill:Locals are crazy there and just drop on your skull.In addition dozens of boards have been smashed into the rocks.This spot should be avoided since there are so many others in Brittany.
