The chapel was open. Now, at Christmastime, it features a nativity scene.

Pointe des Quatre Vents is a small, distinctive headland west of Erquy. As its name—"Headland of the Four Winds"—suggests, it is particularly windswept and open, giving the coastline a rugged, pristine appearance.

Anse de Port Blanc is accessible via the GR34, Brittany's famous coastal hiking trail. The bay is surrounded by steep cliffs of distinctive pink sandstone, which plunge dramatically into the sea.

Saint-Guirec beach is picturesquely situated among the pink granite cliffs of the Côte de Granit Rose (Pink Granite Coast). Highlights include the Saint-Guirec Oratory on the beach with its marriage legend, a small chapel nearby, the Château de Costaérès offshore, and the GR34 coastal hiking trail, which runs directly along the beach and offers spectacular views.

The Oratory of Saint-Guirec dates back to the 12th century. A statue of Saint Guirec is housed in a small niche. For centuries, women, especially, have made pilgrimages here to pray for their husbands' safety at sea or to wish for a husband. According to an old tradition, unmarried women place a pine needle in the statue's nose; if it remains stuck during the next high tide, it is considered a sign of an impending wedding. The original 14th-century wooden statue was moved to the Chapel of Saint-Guirec in 1904, while the granite statue that replaced it was partially damaged in 1934.

The Chapelle Saint-Guirec is a small Romanesque church dating back to the 12th century. According to legend, it was built on the spot where Saint Guirec landed in the 6th century to spread Christianity. The chapel contains the original 14th-century wooden statue of the saint, which once stood in the oratory. It has been a destination for pilgrims for centuries.

The fine sandy beach slopes gently into the turquoise sea, inviting you to linger. At low tide, a fascinating mudflat area is revealed. On the shore stands the small oratory of Saint-Guirec, a chapel to which pilgrims have flocked for centuries to pray for the safety of sailors or to seek a husband. The stone statue standing there today dates from 1904.
