Situated between the Douarnenez bay and the Brest natural harbour, the Crozon peninsula and its seabeds is protected by the Armorique Regional Nature Park. On the peninsula, vegetation mainly consists of moors and heathers, but also pine forests at certain places.

Famous for its jagged coastline and its numerous steep cliffs, the Crozon peninsula has a number of very interesting sites like:

  - The Penhir headland and its "Heaps of Peas", a famous alignment of three rocks;

  - The Espagnols headland inviting walkers to discover a beautiful panorama of the Brest's natural harbour;

  - The Dinan headland possessing numerous viewpoints of the surroundings and to be precise on the Chèvre cape and the Raz headland, to the left, and on the Penhir headland, to the right;

  - The Chèvre cape, which boasts numerous footpaths running alongside high cliffs.

Altogether, these places are great for invigorating hikes, photography, ressourcement and delight.
