It has attractive dune areas and rocky headlands where the white frothy waves crash down. It also has mud flats going deep down into the indented Aber Wrac'h. The little Korejou harbour, which owes its name to the "Gored" (Breton for fish traps) which were used here in the past, has kept its traditional fishing activities and seaweed harvesting activities alongside its current sailing activities.
