Birdwatching is worthwhile here.
It's an important nature reserve with many seabirds such as gannets, guillemots, gulls, and cormorants – ideal for birdwatching.

Hiking

On the rock la Fauconnière many birds can be observed in their natural habitat. Of the breeding birds are the numerous herring gulls and crows, but there are also louts, oystercatchers, puffins, fulmars, common ravens and herring, mantle and kittiwakes.

Hiking

Off the coast of Cap Fréhel lies the small, rugged island of La Fauconnière, designated a protected bird sanctuary. The rock is uninhabited and off-limits to the public—an important refuge for numerous seabirds and shorebirds that nest and breed here. Between spring and summer, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, gulls, and northern gannets populate the steep cliffs. Their calls mingle with the wind and the roar of the sea, and this vibrant natural spectacle can be easily observed from the viewpoints at Cap Fréhel.
