Camaret is 80 km from Brest by road and 65 km from Quimper and is located in the far west of the Crozon Peninsula. Surrounded by the ocean, at the entrance to the Gulet de Brest, it is this privileged geographical location that will make Camaret-sur-Mer, an important break port, until the appearance of steam navigation. Camaret, half of whose area consists of protected natural areas, is part of the Armorique regional natural park. It is a quiet resort.
Camaret: the "furrow" with the Vauban Tower and the Notre-Dame de Rocamadour chapel; in the background the tip of the Grand Gouin
To the north, there is the bay of Camaret and the Roscanvel peninsula, to the south, the cove of Dinan and the Cap de la Chèvre, to the west, the Iroise Sea begins opposite Penhat cove.
While advancing towards the tip of Pen-Hir and the Tas de Pois, one encounters a succession of cliffs, each as impressive as the other by their enormous sections of rock that fall steeply into the ocean. When you arrive at the imposing promontory supporting the immense Lorraine cross in blue granite, inaugurated by General de Gaulle on July 15, 1951, the landscape is magnificent. A natural platform on the side of a cliff, called the Green Room, is covered with sea grass. But you have to be very careful because the inclined and fast plane which leads to it is very dangerous. Below, is the beach of Véryac'h, which means limestone sand beach or maërl. She draws a semicircle which ends on the right by the Tas de Pois and on the left by a succession of cliffs in brown and yellow tones.
A little further, it is the place called in Breton Lam Saoz, the jump of the Englishman, in memory of the failure of the English landing in 1404.
The footpath was laid out in 1975 to Kerloc'h beach, at the exit of Camaret, in the direction of Crozon. We overlook the sea from 50 to 60 meters and we see, at the end, the bay of Dinan.
The commune of Camaret-sur-Mer is close to that of Crozon located to the east.
