Pointe d'Arradon, Cape in Arradon, Brittany, France

The pointe d'Arradon is a peninsula about 700 metres long and 200 metres wide at its broadest, on the coast of Arradon in the Gulf of Morbihan. It faces the pointe du Trec'h on the Île aux Moines.

In the 18th century the pointe d'Arradon was called pointe Perrier. Its small slipway served as the boarding point for passengers crossing to the Île aux Moines, which lies directly opposite the cape.

The cape was called pointe Perrier in the 18th century, a name recorded before the current one. Its small slipway once served as the boarding point for passengers crossing to the Île aux Moines, which lies directly opposite. The crossing to the island remains the reference point for the place.

A coastal path runs along the pointe d'Arradon, though some sections may be closed due to landslides, so checking conditions before you go is a good idea. There is a parking area directly at the cape, which fills up quickly in summer, so arriving early in the day helps.

The esplanade Anne Caseneuve, a large open area right at the tip, is one of the few spots in the area where you can sit and look out to sea without any buildings or fences blocking the view. The GR34, one of the most followed coastal walking routes in France, passes directly through here, making the cape a natural starting point for longer walks along the Morbihan shoreline.
