Covered at high tide, this alley is a valuable indicator of the rise of sea level change that may be about seven meters. It also demonstrates the clan organization of these primitive people gathered in groups large enough to require and carry out such work. Funerary monument, the monument is usually covered with large slabs as dolmens. But it has lost its cover, perhaps because they used the stones for other buildings such as the pier is next.
• The menhir Camlouis, Historical Monument March 15, 1909: Bordering the shore on a heath barren rocky outcrops near the cove Camlouis, it serves as bitter coastal mariners. This long stone monolith erected vertically, Breton Men (stone) and Hir (long) was formerly Peulvan (stone pillar). Monument of over seven meters high, it is listed among the highest in France. Depending on the angle from which it is observed, we can not, with a little imagination, help to see some form of gross statue. It is said that in this menhir, we can find a treasure, provided they are able to dig in the range of 12 strokes of midnight, the night of Christmas and Palm Sunday!
• Les Halles: Unique in Brittany, Les Halles de Plouescat, dating from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century, are probably the oldest and most representative of the last three halls that still exist in Britain (The Faouët and Questembert) . They served covered market on payment of duties on goods and animals presented with market and fair days. Its poles are from the oak. Two rooms were furnished to the floor and dormers and gable windows were removed. This building, the jewel of the resort, has been classified as an historic monument June 18, 1915.

• Furnaces seaweed: These are ditches dug into the dune than a dozen feet long with walls and bottom are lined with flat stones assembled with clay. These ovens were divided into compartments in which they burned the dry seaweed. After burning, each compartment was collecting soda block of fifty pounds, and collected soda was sold to the chemical plant located in Pont-Christ (1919-1952).
