The Pointe d'Agon lighthouse is a maritime signal light in the English Channel. It was first a fort built in 1747 in order to defend the entrance to the harbors of Regnéville-sur-Mer and Coutainville. This fort was demolished from 1776 by the tides. The Agon lighthouse, inaugurated in 1856, stands on the site of the old fort.

Crossed by the GR 223, the Pointe d'Agon lighthouse is a popular destination for hiking. Despite its name, it is a light and not a lighthouse. It is also distinguished by its house which is nowadays occasionally open for visits and exhibitions.
