Presqu'île de Crozon

Crozon Peninsula extends into the Atlantic Ocean bordered by three coastlines: the Bay of Brest, the Iroise Sea, and the Bay of Douarnenez. The land offers beaches, cliffs, and walking paths that run along the water.

The area was equipped with fortifications built between the 17th and 20th centuries to protect Brest harbor. These military structures still mark the coastal landscape today.

Villages here display traditional Breton architecture with stone houses and colored shutters that shape the landscape. Lighthouses with their distinctive colors are part of daily views and local identity.

The area has several easy-to-reach beaches such as Morgat and La Palue where you can swim and surf. Hikers can explore coastal paths, especially the GR34 walking route that runs through the region.

Near Pointe de Pen Hir, natural rock formations like the Tas de Pois rise from the sea, framed by tall cliffs. These stone pillars are a rare geological feature and a striking part of the coastal view.
