In South Finistère, if you’re looking for Land’s End, you can go to the Pointe du Raz but you can also head to the Pointe de Penmarc’h, famous for its majestic Eckmühl lighthouse. Together with the Vieux Phare, which is an extension of the lighthouse, it keeps watch over the sailors who pass by this jagged coastline full of reefs.
The rocks of Saint-Guénolé, just a few kilometres away, also bear witness to the dangerous waters offshore. If you follow the GR® 34 coastal path, you’ll come across the famous ‘roche du Préfet’, where hikers should be extremely careful as this spot is particularly prone to swells.
But the force of the Atlantic, at this western point of Finistère, has not managed to keep the Bigoudens away from the open sea. They have always taken to the ocean, as is clear from the number of ports in Penmarc’h alone: Saint-Pierre, Kérity and Saint-Guénolé. These harbours, with their rough, authentic charm, welcome pleasure boaters, sailors and professional fishermen alike.
Penmarc’h also offers calmer waters, such as the fine sandy beaches where you can relax and unwind.
As for nature, the paths and tracks highlight the beauty of the protected and listed marshes. These include the Joie and Lescors wetlands.
