The stretch of coast known for its red granite with its bizarre shapes is not exactly an insider tip.
But it's off-season and the weather today was just fantastic.

Due to low tide, it is mostly off-road over the great rocks. In the mud you can find crabs, worms and scallops. Wonderful

Here you can admire the huge and unusually shaped granite colossi that stretch from land to far into the sea. The pink granite coast with the lighthouse in Ploumanach is simply grandiose and unique.

This tour from Ploumanac'h to the lighthouse and back is highly recommended!

Here too, the beautifully laid out path runs along the Zöllnerpfad past fascinating rock formations and through dune-like landscapes. In Ploumanac'h there is a sculpture park and delicious crepes.
