Hiking
At a height of 47 meters, the Créac'h lighthouse painted with white and black horizontal stripes is one of the most imposing lighthouses on the Ponant islands. Classified as a historical monument since 2011, it continues to guide ships using lanterns with a range of 60 kilometers.
At the foot of the lighthouse, the Museum of Lighthouses and Beacons will tell you more than just how the Créac'h works and the other semaphores that light up the seas and oceans.
Note, in Breton, "Créac'h" means "height, promontory".
