Plouézec is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France.
It has 17 km of rugged coastline that makes it a popular tourist destination all year round, with high quality beaches such as Bréhec and Pors Pin. Its beautiful countryside and coast makes it an ideal place for countryside walks and bike-rides.
Plouézec is twinned with the Irish town of Ballinamore and the twinning committee hosts a famous Fest Noz festival every August around the Moulin de Craca which regularly draws thousands of visitors. There is traditional Irish and Breton music, as well as food and drink available. Especially popular is the famous moules-frites, which is a dish of mussels and French fries.
It has a strong maritime influence and the people often refer to themselves as enfants de la mer (children of the sea). Water-based sports such as fishing, sailing, and swimming are very popular and are practised by locals and tourists alike.
