The Pointe du Raz is crossed by the famous hiking trail GR34, also called the “customs path”. This portion of the trail offers spectacular views of the cliffs, and the surrounding islands, such as the island of Sein. The hike usually starts at the parking lot of the site, then follows the coastline and passes by the Baie des Trépassés, offering an idyllic setting for a break.
It is a place which shelters a rich biodiversity, in particular of the species of marine birds like the crested cormorants, the herring gulls or the guillemots of Troïl. The local flora is also remarkable, with plants typical of the Breton coast, such as gorse, heather and eagle fern.
It was classified as a Grand Site de France in 1996.
