Pointe de Corsen, Westernmost headland in Plouarzel, France
The cape extends into the Atlantic Ocean with extensive rocky cliffs rising above the waves, marking the transition between ocean and English Channel.
Throughout centuries, this prominent geographical feature served as a crucial navigation point for vessels traveling along the dangerous Brittany coastline.
The Pointe de Corsen region maintains traditional fishing practices that have shaped local maritime communities for multiple generations.
Visitors can reach the headland by following marked trails from designated parking areas, with an orientation table providing panoramic views.
The CROSS Corsen maritime surveillance center monitors vessel traffic and coordinates rescue operations across the northern Brittany waters.
