Pointe de Kerpenhir
A headland at the western mouth of the gulf, across from Locmariaquer, where a granite statue of the Virgin Mary watches over boats passing in and out of the Gulf of Morbihan.
Pointe de Kerpenhir is a headland on the west bank of the Gulf of Morbihan's mouth, facing Port-Navalo across the water. On the point stand a granite statue of the Virgin Mary and a small landing stage. At low tide the strong currents at the bay mouth churn, and sailboats weave back and forth. From here, a walk south along the GR34 coastal path leads to the Atlantic beach at Saint-Pierre-Lopérec. The visit is free, parking is easy, and it is a good place to see the sea after visiting the Locmariaquer megaliths.
