A cross-shaped peninsula in Finistère with some of Brittany's most spectacular coast: the cliffs of Cap de la Chèvre, the Pointe de Penhir with its rocky Tas de Pois stacks, sea caves at Morgat and long sandy beaches.


The coast path, the GR34, runs right around it. The Pointe des Espagnols looks across the bay to Brest.
