Crozon walks

Even before it became a renowned seaside resort, Morgat was famous for its sea caves. Thanks to The Guardian, it has become even more famous, as it is said to be home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. As a result of this notoriety, this little gem is no longer accessible due to the overcrowding of the tiny and very steep path that leads to it. But you can still dream of relaxing there from the coastal path that connects the two sites. Between points 4 and 6, the path can be narrow and vertiginous. Not recommended for those who are afraid of heights. Latest information: changes have been made tothe GR® trail in the Pointe de St-Hernot area and between Porz Léon and the Calvary. Follow theGR® markings in the modified sections.

Beautiful tour largely on the coastal path (GR34), via Cap de la Chèvre, which overlooks the bay of Douarnenez.

From the beaches of Kersiguénou and Goulien in Crozon, this route climbs up the cliff to reach Château de Dinan, a huge rock connected to the headland by an arch carved out by the sea, and Pointe de Dinan, offering beautiful views of Pointe de Pen-Hir in Camaret and its famous rocks, the Tas de Pois. It continues to the next point, Lostmarc'h and its barred spur. The return journey takes you through dunes, moors and carriage roads linking hamlets that have often been restored.

Pointe de Dinan is not the best known of the Crozon peninsula's headlands, yet the view it offers over the Iroise Sea, from the immense Goulien beach to the rocky outcrop at its western tip, is quite magical. Here is a short walk that allows you to see for yourself.

From the Maison des Minéraux in Saint-Hernot, the last large hamlet before Cap de la Chèvre, the route joins theGR® 34 coastal path overlooking Douarnenez Bay. On this route, there is a short detour to the hamlet of Rostudel, a former fishing and farming village dating back to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The hike continues to the well-known Cap de la Chèvre before reaching Plage de la Palue, renowned for its surfing spot. Heritage highlights include the Chapel of Saint-Hernot, the Dolmen of Kerdreux and the Naval Aviation Monument at Cap de la Chèvre.

This little gem of the Breton coast is now closed to pedestrians, a victim of its well-deserved success. Visiting it from the coastal path is still a beautiful experience and well worth the short walk.

Following the GR®34 through the Guern cliffs, a protected area managed by the Coastal Conservatory ("Conservatoire du Littoral"), you'll dominate the bay "Baie de Douarnenez", framed by the cape "Cap de la Chèvre" on the Crozon peninsula and the tip "Pointe du Van" in cape "Cap Sizun". You'll reach the long beach "Plage de Trez Bellec".On the way back, you'll skirt the pine forest "Pinède de Trez Bihan", offering fine views over the bay "Baie of Douarnenez".

Your path is the customs trail near Telgruc-sur-Mer, on the Crozon peninsula, at the tip of Brittany, has breathtaking panoramas in fine weather and thrills in rough weather.

This walk, starting from Roscanvel church, goes around the Pointe des Espagnols, which is the northern tip of the Crozon peninsula, offering breathtaking views of Brest harbour. It then follows the coastal path to the Fort des Capucins, before returning to the village via the inland route.

From Camaret harbour, follow the coastal path via the famous Pointe de Pen Hir. Return to face the panorama of Brest harbour.

This third stage of the Crozon tour is short and well worth spending time on. First of all, it offers superb sea views, culminating in the high cliffs of Pointe de Pen Hir and Tas de Pois. There is also a rich heritage to discover: a chapel, a Vauban tower and ancient military structures, rows of menhirs, the remains of a manor house...

Walk along the top of the cliffs facing the open sea. In centuries past, fortifications were built here to protect the Bay of Brest. The path crosses the moor. The return journey is inland.

A lovely walk around Cap de la Chèvre, a circular route that loops back to the hamlet of Rostudel, a listed site.

In the southern part of the Crozon Peninsula, discover the wild coastline from Cap de la Chèvre to Pointe de Dinan by following the customs officers' paths on a day-long hike.

This short loop starting from the Cap de la Chèvre semaphore station follows part ofthe GR®34 trail, which runs along the coast with its stunning coves.

A Yellow signposted coastal walk with beautiful panoramas of the Brest harbour (Rade de Brest). ⚠️: Some paths are very wet when it rains or covered by the sea during high tides.
