Here in Finistère, the world "ends" at a series of capes and rocky outcrops. The Pointe du Raz is one of the legendary highlights of the coast. The Pointe du Raz is up to 70 meters high and offers a sensational view of the lighthouse on the island of La Vieille and the island of Sein to the west.

Wonderful and strenuous coastal hike with lots of sun and little wind from Plogoff to Point du Raz. Way back via Plage de la Baie des Trépassés, but the path recommended by Komoot does not exist or is not accessible.
