Camaret-sur-Mer, Coastal commune in Finistère, France

Camaret-sur-Mer sits at the tip of the Crozon peninsula on the northwestern Atlantic coast of France. It functions as a working fishing harbor with boat moorings and maintained anchorage facilities for maritime activities.

The harbor was protected by a fortification built between 1669 and 1694 that remains a landmark here. This defensive structure became part of the UNESCO World Heritage designation for Vauban's fortifications in 2008.

The place maintains working traditions rooted in fishing and maritime life, visible today through the harbor activities and mooring areas. Visitors can observe how these customs still shape daily life along the waterfront.

The harbor can be visited year-round, though warmer months show more maritime activity and boat movement. Visiting during morning hours or at low tide offers the best conditions for exploring the waterfront and surrounding areas.

Ancient stone alignments at Lagatjar reveal human settlement dating back 8,000 years in this area. These stone rows rank among the oldest known human traces in Brittany.
