Pointe du Grouin, Rocky coastal headland in Cancale, France
The peninsula rises 49 meters above sea level, providing views extending from Cap Fréhel to Mont Saint Michel and the Chausey Islands.
A German bunker from World War II remains beneath the semaphore station, which now functions as a public exhibition space.
The starting point of Route du Rhum, a transatlantic sailing competition held every four years, marks this location with maritime significance.
Visitors can follow marked trails from Cancale to explore the site, while checking tide schedules ensures safe access to lower cliff areas.
The adjacent Ile des Landes functions as an ornithological reserve where numerous seabirds nest among the rocky formations.
