Out on the water
Bénodet is unbeatable if you love being on the water:
from the River Odet to the sheltered Mer Blanche or the ocean waves, you'll love getting nautical here - whether you have your sea legs or not!
Why not try aqua jogging, paddle-boarding, a sailing lesson, or even kayaking on the River Odet?
Aqua jogging, Aqua aerobics and Flipper fitness
The gentle slopes of Trez beach and Letty beach are ideal for aqua jogging. This seawater fitness activity started in the north of France in 2005, and has become increasingly popular.
Vanessa will explain all you need to know and guide you through the session. Set off for a few kilometres and feel the benefits, as Aqua Jogging helps both body and mind. For an even bigger challenge, try Aqua Aerobics and Flipper Fitness. The session includes the loan of a neoprene shorty wetsuit, just come along in your swimwear and beach shoes.
