Pointe des Espagnols
A headland at the northern tip of the Crozon Peninsula. Across a narrow strait from Brest, it offers panoramic views of the naval port and aircraft carrier base.
The headland takes its name from the Spanish troops who occupied the site in the late 16th century, and remnants of their gun batteries and bunkers remain. This is the best vantage point for seeing the Brest anchorage and city skyline, and the grassy slopes are ideal for a picnic. It is about a one-hour drive from Brest by road. In summer, you can take a ferry to Le Fret and continue from there.
