I am going to the above over the summer and know the beach is highly recommended. Has anyone found anything else interesting in that area such as cycle routes or the arts?
Loads of stone remains of burial chambers (I can't remember the correct term) and the stone alignments at Carnac come to mind, together with a train ride down the Quiberon peninsular and back.
Will you be staying at the naturist club site between Erdeven and Belz? It is run by local members who know the area intimately.

It is worthwhile visiting the cemetery in Erdeven to have a look at the gypsy graves, some fantastic creations, we got the information from a resident who lived near to the Aire de service.

Probably a bit late for you but I've just remembered the Michelin Green Guides. These are often available from the ferry or ferry termial bookshops although it will be at more than Amazon prices.

Should anyone follow this in the future I thought I would share that I found the area a good place to visit. In answer to my original question, there are plenty of good cycle routes, although some of the costal roads are a bit bumpy for a road bike. There is quite a good art gallery at Saint-Cado. The naturist camp site suggested looks good. Although we did not stay there ourselves, there are leaflets in the tourist offices. We found the naturist beach extensive. It was busy at weekends when the weather was good, but still plenty of space. At most other times there was still a sufficient number of other naturists not to feel self-conscious.
The local naturist site is La Pinede

We stayed in our camper a few weeks ago - highly recommended.
Just a quick update. We visited this beach again in 2019. The signage has now changed. It use to have signs saying it is a naturist beach on all entrances. These have now gone and the system of numbering entrances has changed. There are now distance makers along the beach. The naturist area appears to be from 41 to 43, a shorter distance than previously. There are two signs, one at the car park near 41 and one on the beach at 43. These now just say, 'naturism tolerated'. Perhaps as a consequence of this there seemed to be more non naturists using the beach on busy days (hot weekends and public holidays). Never-the-less, we still found it a good beach to visit.
