Walking
The primary access to Île Milliau is by foot from Trébeurden during low tide. From the port of Trébeurden, head towards Pointe du Castel. Consult tide charts displayed near the port to determine safe crossing times. The passage is a rocky causeway that becomes exposed during low tide, connecting the mainland to the island. Be prepared for uneven terrain and potential seaweed cover, requiring sturdy footwear. Ensure you allow sufficient time to cross and explore the island before the tide rises again. There are no costs associated with walking across to the island during low tide.
