Although Plougasnou has always taken advantage of the sea, to ensure its development, notably with two fishing ports in the area, only since the 20th century has the town been transformed into a seaside resort. With an attractive location in the north-east of the Baie de Morlaix bay, the town benefited from a railway line, which linked Morlaix to Primel Plougasnou, to attract the first lovers of sea swimming. In the Belle-Epoque, the town witnessed seaside villas as well as the large hotels along the seafront flourish. Numerous artists and celebrities, such as Nina Ricci and Alexandre Dumas came to stay here.
