Palaeolithic traces have been discovered in the cave of Menez Dregan and just a few meters from the cave you can explore the Neolithic necropolis of the Pointe du Souc'h with its dolmens. If you are interested, you can make a detour to the small museum or center d'interpretation of Menez Dregan above the trail. To do this, follow the rocky path up to the right towards the modern, rectangular house at the top of the hill. The interpretation center is directly behind it. However, it is only open regularly in July and August, outside of these months you must register in advance with the Plouhinec Tourist Office on 0033 (0)2 98 70 74 55. In the small museum, the approximately 465,000-year history of human traces in this place is explained interactively. If you are lucky enough to stop by there, you can also do so on the way back from the walk - because then you will pass there directly on the street side.

BR-Plage de Guendrez

Highlight • Other

We think that the Plage de Guendrez is a great place to have a picnic on a summer's evening... maybe combined with a dip in the sea? Enjoy the fact that you can reach the beach on foot - because on sunny days the cars tend to bump into each other on the narrow parking strip. It never really gets crowded here, the beach is too unknown for that.

Gwendrez Beach

Highlight • Beach

This beautiful, long sandy beach is sometimes partially covered with pebbles. The currents being powerful, it changes its morphology from one year to the next.

Swimming is supervised in summer. It is not recommended to swim outside of these surveillance systems due to the presence of baïnes (large natural swimming pools), which are sometimes barely visible and therefore dangerous.
