Drive along the Bigouden harbours and sandy beaches.
This stage of the coastal cycle route is unique in that it follows the coastline and passes through several fishing ports. The first of these, Le Guilvinec, comes alive in the late afternoon when the boats arrive. The panoramic terrace of the Haliotika discovery centre is a good place to observe this impressive activity. Further on, the cycle route passes through the port of Lesconil and then Loctudy, where the "demoiselle de Loctudy" is fished. You then arrive in Pont-l'Abbé, capital of the Pays Bigouden. Its castle is home to the town hall and a museum showing traditional local society.
Departure: Eckmühl lighthouse on the port of Saint-Pierre in Penmarc'h
Finish: Château des barons opposite the pond at Pont-l'Abbé

-Respect the fragile balance of flora and fauna in all areas.
-Respect private property.
