Pointe du Grouin

Dirt path between wire fences crossing a green headland towards a rocky island in turquoise sea.

A short drive from Cancale brings you to this sublime and stormy headland. Rock cleaves the water and fantastic views range over islands and rocks to the sea beyond, while Mont St-Michel is visible to your east. Wander around the well-worn trails and hike around here to your heart's content. A WWII-era bunker contains some chilling graffiti, and there are displays panels with information on the rich local bird life.
