The seahorse which stands facing the sea at a place called Pors ar Stréat has become over time an emblem of Plouescat. This beautiful sea animal was sculpted at the end of the 1980s, by a local stonemason, in a block of granite extracted from the Plouescataise quarry of Kerzéan, at the initiative of a sculptor participating in the exhibition of summer art of the time, Plouesc'Art. Exhibited for a summer in the courtyard of the Anita-Conti school, the seahorse, purchased by the municipality, was installed for a long time in the heart of the village, before finding its definitive place, since 2005, by the sea .

The poor seahorse once stood in the center of Plouescat. It was banned from there for unknown reasons. Now it stands here in Porsmeur and steadfastly defies the environmental influences of the tides. A place worth seeing!
