Pointe de Beg-Meil
A headland at the eastern mouth of Fouesnant Bay, where pine woods, dunes and small coves intertwine, with views over Concarneau and the Glénan Islands.
Beg-Meil belongs to the commune of Fouesnant and became a seaside resort as early as the late 19th century. Proust once stayed here for a short time. At the headland stands an old signal tower, and around it are several small beaches and dunes. Following the GR34 coastal path north, you can reach Cap Coz in about 1.5 hours. In summer, ferries run from here to the Glénan Islands and Concarneau. Entry is free, and it suits a half-day of walking and swimming.
