Plouescat (French pronunciation: [pluɛskat]; Breton: Ploueskad) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.

It is a seaside resort, complete with a casino and a large camping and caravanning site, adjacent to its extensive beach of fine, powdery sand.

The region is largely agricultural, specialising in artichokes, onions, cauliflowers and potatoes.

It is separated from Plounévez-Lochrist (Gwinevez) by the Keralle, a small coastal river which rises in Saint-Vougay and flows into the Baie du Kernic, in Pont-Christ en Plouescat; to the east, the town borders Cléder.

[6] The route of a former railway line provided the foundation for a new road, called Le boulevard de l'Europe, which by-passes Plouescat on its southern side.
