Plouguerneau is best known in Brittany for the Île Vierge lighthouse, rising from a small island off its granite coast. The commune lies between the tidal inlets of Aber Benoît and Aber Wrac’h, where beaches, dunes and rocky headlands shape the shore of north-west Finistère. Completed in 1902, the 82.5-metre lighthouse is distinguished by its interior lined with white opaline glass. Seaweed gathering has also long been part of local coastal life, linking the town closely to the rhythms of the tide.
