Trégunc - Névez, from Pointe de Kerjean to Port Manec'h

This fairly challenging hike along a magnificent coastline mostly follows the customs officers' path, through moorland, rocks and small beaches. Incursions inland, then, at the end of the journey, a tour of Port Manec'h, port and village, allow you to discover sites typical of the Trégunc and Névez region.

Description of the walk

GR34 marked in white and red

(S/E) Depart from the Pointe de Kerjean car park, heading east along the small path that branches off to the right and runs along the coast to the Dourveil beach car park.

PR marked in yellow

(1) Leave theGR®34, take the Route de Dourveil (D1) and then turn left towards Kercanic. Cross through the thatched cottages and follow the road for 500 m, then turn right towards Kervaillet

(2). At the road, turn left and then immediately right towards Kerstalen.

(3) Before leaving Kerstalen, turn right. The road becomes a path that descends to the sea through the moorland.

GR34 marked in white and red

(4) From L'Amer, admire the island and beach of Raguénez, then continue east for 1 km along the coastal path.

PR marked in yellow

(5) Leave it at the three-way junction on the left, then head back up towards Kerascoet. In this remarkable village, turn right onto the road. At the campsite, follow the path to the right and keep going, turning left to return to the road. Turn right at the first road, then continue straight on until you reach a fountain.

(6) Return to the road, turn left onto it, which becomes a path that crosses the stream and goes up the hill under the trees.

(7) Before the road, turn right onto a beautiful path that descends towards Rospico.

(8) Turn right towards Trefernic.

(9) Before reaching the coast, follow the path on the left that climbs towards Kerambris and continues along the Allée des Pins.

(10) At the first crossroads, turn right and head back down the coastal path.

(11) Follow it eastwards and look out for the rock known as the Finger of God.

(12) Head to the magnificent coastal lighthouse where the Belon and Aven rivers meet before arriving at the port.

(13) Continue along picturesque lanes to Port Manech beach: halfway along the route, enjoy the location by taking a well-deserved break.
Head north of the beach to see the bread oven and chapel.

(14) Follow the small road towards Keraeren until you reach the D77.

(15) Follow it to the left, which will take you to Avenue de l'Océan and the crossroads you passed on the way there.

(10) Continue straight ahead to the sea.

(1) The return journey is mostly along the coastal path to the west, which goes around Anse de Rospico.

(16) Walk along Raguénez beach. You will arrive at the fork you passed on the way there.

(5) Continue straight ahead, with the sea on your left. Pass the Amer and reach the fork leading to the island.

(17) At low tide, Raguénez Island is accessible on foot and offers a different view of the coast.

(18) Take the same route back to Kersidan Beach.

(17) You can walk along the sand or, even better, with your feet in the water to relieve them if they need it.

(1) At this initial fork, continue left along the beach towards (S/E).

Notes

This hike is long but not difficult in good weather. There is little shelter along the coast except at Port Manech, where you can also stock up on supplies or grab a bite to eat.

Worth a visit

This hike continues northwards with the one described here: Tregunc between Trevignon and La Jument.

Take the time to admire the renovated thatched cottages, some built of standing stones, and other picturesque buildings: chapels, communal ovens, fountains, as well as the menhirs and other remains scattered throughout the region.
A few kilometres to the north, visit Concarneau, the walled town and the harbour.

Always be cautious and plan ahead when you're outdoors. Visorando and the author of this route cannot be held responsible for any accidents occurring on this route.

A very beautiful hike, starting in the countryside and ending by the sea. Be careful on the descent to Rosepico: the path was more like a puddle in several places over a 25/50 m stretch. The Viso Rando app was very useful because in some places the path did not exist (or no longer existed?). But thank you for this wonderful discovery!

A lovely walk that matches the description. Very easy; it must be even more enjoyable in bad weather.

From Pointe de la Jument to Port Manech. I only did the GR 34 section, so it wasn't a circular hike, but to make the hike more varied (thankfully with advice from locals), I added Doelan to the coast where it's hilly, making it more varied.
Thank you.

Hello,
We only did part of this 13 km route, but I recommend it because it is beautiful and easy.It starts at the port of Port Manech and heads towards the banks of the Aven for 2 km through the woods, then towards Névez with its magnificent thatched cottages and chapel, before reaching the seaside at Raguénez beach near Port Manech. The last kilometre is a little more physically demanding with a few steep slopes, but nothing too difficult. We will do it again.
Best regards

This is a beautiful route that can be completed without ever leaving the coastal path. This means you will not see the thatched cottage villages of Kercanic and Kerascoët. The path and the views are magnificent.

For hikers tackling the GR34 in stages, why not stay at Le Suroît campsite at Pointe de Kerjan, the starting point for this hike?
There is a special rate for hikers.
