Naturally formed by the confluence of two streams 4,500 years ago, Ploumanac'h harbour is an exceptional location. Used from ancient times as a trading port, it was then home to a village of fishermen. Today, it has retained its authentic, traditional appearance and attracts many visitors to the area.
