Seashore fishing
Line fishing is a well-known practice among fishing enthusiasts, appreciated for its moments of calm and patience along the shores or at sea. But beyond this tradition, there exists a less conventional yet equally fascinating variant: seashore fishing. This activity, practiced at low tide along the coastline, invites a true dialogue with nature and offers an immersive experience in the maritime world.
Discover seashore fishing
Seashore fishing does not require a boat or complex equipment. Armed with simple tools like a rake, a net, or a clam knife, fishermen explore the areas revealed by the tide in search of shellfish, crustaceans, and small fish. This practice allows one to reconnect with the marine environment in a direct and respectful way, aligning with the rhythms of the tides and adopting an eco-responsible approach.
Seashore fishing is even more interesting during the spring tides!
Set out in search of shellfish and crustaceans
With family or friends, roam the shores in search of shellfish and crustaceans. Teach the younger ones about good environmental practices while having fun. Clams, razor clams, cockles, and many other seafood delights will be within reach as the tides change. Each outing is an adventure, a treasure hunt where patience and observation are rewarded with delicious finds.
Take the opportunity to fully enjoy the characteristic salty air of Brittany, allowing you to rejuvenate in the heart of nature. At the end of the day, after this enriching excursion, indulge in the fruits of your catch around a convivial meal—a genuine culinary experience not to be missed during your stay on the Côte d’Émeraude.
