In South Finistère, there’s the Pointe du Raz , but there’s also the Pointe de Penmarc’h, famous for its majestic Eckmühl lighthouse . Together with the Vieux Phare (Old Lighthouse ), which is an extension of the lighthouse, it keeps watch over the sailors passing off 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, you’ll come across the famous “roche du Préfet”, which is particularly prone to swells, so hikers should be extremely careful.
But the force of the Atlantic, at this western point of Finistère, has not succeeded in keeping the Bigoudens away from the open sea. They have always taken to the sea, as evidenced by the many ports in the commune of Penmarc’h alone: Saint-Pierre, Kérity and Saint-Guénolé. These harbours, with their rough, authentic charm, welcome yachtsmen, amateur 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 paths.
