Plogoff occupies the Atlantic edge of Cap Sizun in Brittany, a position that has made this exposed commune inseparable from the sea. Its coastline includes Pointe du Raz, a rocky headland facing the tidal passage of Raz de Sein and the island of Sein beyond. The shore forms part of the Pointe du Raz en Cap Sizun Grand Site de France, where access and restoration seek to protect a much-visited coastal environment. Plogoff also became a national symbol of anti-nuclear activism between 1978 and 1981, when local resistance helped stop a proposed nuclear power station.
