Carantec is located at the north-western end of the Bay of Morlaix, between the mouths of the Penzé to the west and the Morlaix to the east, on a peninsula where steep rocky shores alternate with sandy beaches. The town has been a popular seaside resort and holiday destination for over a hundred years, especially for French tourists.
