Meneham Village and Guardhouse
Highlight • Historical Site
The guardhouse was built between the rocks in 1756, while the village developed from the 19th century to accommodate customs officers, then workers.
Today, the site is the subject of particular attention for its preservation. A collective of associations provides activities throughout the year.

Pontusval lighthouse
Highlight • Monument
The lighthouse, a notable landmark along the GR34 Brignogan-Plages hiking trail, is not only a historical monument but also a vivid testimony to the region's maritime heritage. It was built on the top of Beg-Pol, a site carefully chosen because of the many shipwrecks caused by the rocky terrain. On September 15, 1869, its light shone in the darkness for the first time and showed ships the safe way.
Since then, at a height of 14.5 meters, it has defied the tides and unpredictable weather. It's no wonder it's considered the most photographed lighthouse in Brittany and even Europe. Its impressive presence combined with the natural beauty of its surroundings makes it an essential photo opportunity and a highlight of the Côte des Légendes.
