    Cycling

    Magnificent, to go around it you will have to carry the bike (or take the forbidden direction). The landscape that we observe is just grandiose and really worth the detour!

    Hiking

    This part of the coastline is intimately linked to the sea and here, at the tip of Merquel, you can take a break and enjoy the tranquility and space of the panoramic views. There is also a bird observatory where you can spend time observing nature.

    With the port of Kercabellec to its right and Sorlock beach to its left, the Pointe de Merquel stands proudly in the Atlantic.

    Opposite is the headland of Pen-Bé. The culvert widens to the Bay of Més. The salt marshes of Més extend to the land.

    A monastery was built on the Point de Merquel in 1278 and destroyed in 1615. A legacy of the Benedictine monks of St Gildas de Rhuys and dedicated to Notre Dame de Marrel.
