Beautiful bay with the special feature that a stream flows into it, which turns part of the beach into a green biotope. There is also a great view of the lighthouses from here.

Île Vierge lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

On the Virgin Island, a small piece of land with an area of eleven football fields, the lighthouse which illuminates the ocean is the tallest in Europe. Raised 82.5 meters above the ground, its beam reaches up to 50 kilometers on clear days.

The lighthouse is open for tours during spring and summer. Maritime connections allow access from the port of Aber Wrac’h and the tip of Castel Ac’h. A gîte open in the old caretaker's house can also accommodate you for one night.

Pointe du Castel Ac’h

Highlight • Viewpoint

Castel Ac'h is located directly on the GR 34 coastal hiking trail. Just a few steps away is the Pointe du Castel Ac'h, a well-known vantage point offering views of the archipelago and its lighthouses. The Île Vierge lighthouse, the tallest in Europe, is particularly worth seeing.
