This place is a tip for all weather conditions. In fog, it appears almost mystical and mysterious, and in sunshine, the beach invites a visit. You can often observe surfers on the beach. Swimming is forbidden there due to the strong Atlantic current.

Located between Pointe de Pen Hir and Pointe de Toulinguet, Plage Pen Hat is a stunning sandy beach surrounded by rugged cliffs. However, swimming out is not recommended, as there are sometimes high surf waves and strong undertows that should not be underestimated. Pen Hat is particularly popular with experienced surfers from all over the world. Above Pen Hat runs a coastal path offering magnificent views of Pen Hir and the Atlantic Ocean.

Plage de Pen Hat, a highlight near Camaret sur mer. At low tide it is a huge, wide, firm sandy beach and at high tide it is a hotspot for surfers. If you are lucky enough to be here at Gande Maree, you can also get into caves on the cliffs at the extreme low tide, which are inaccessible the rest of the year. Above the beach, at the Manoir Saint Pol Roux, the ruins of a former manor house, you have an incomparable view of the bay and in the evening, if the weather is right, it is the spot for some great sunset photos.

The rocks of Corréjou not only offer a beautiful view, but with the beach of the same name underneath they are also a geological and geological highlight! On the coast of the peninsula, at low tide, you can come across beds of pebbles lying in the soft cliffs: the "official" name is therefore 'Plage suspendue'. The hanging beach of Corréjou is one of the 27 geological sites classified as ERB (Espace Remarquable de Bretagne) on the Crozon peninsula, in particular the petrified sand shores, located a little further north nearby, which can also be discovered... Corréjou is said to come from the Breton word gorre = high and refers to the northern beach.
