Seaside walk

Hikes & walks in Lamballe-Armor

Between the countryside and the coast... The seaside between Jospinet and Dahouët offers a remarkable geological diversity, with rocky cliffs, a loess sea cliff, suspended valleys, as well as many botanical treasures as a result of how plants have adapted to the power of the wind. The port of Dahouët, the villages of Port-Morvan and La Cotentin are superb examples of the local built heritage. On this walk, the frequent links between the coastal path and the interior path mean that you can choose the length of the walk. Enjoy the bracing sea air! A guide is available at Tourist Offices and at the head office of Saint-Alban Community of Communes.

Itinerary

3- Observe the isolated rock on the cliff known as "the whale".

4- Suspended valley, resulting from a drop in the sea level which created a new area of erosion.

5- The small beach of Port-Morvan.
