In the heart of the Bigouden country, the port of Sainte Marine is a landmark for strollers, with its terraces, old stones, hydrangeas and small pleasure boats. Its simple and lively atmosphere is very popular with holidaymakers.
You will be able to visit there the shelter of the sailor created more than a century ago by Jacques de Thezac. Today it is a small, well-documented museum on the life of a sailor, and the Breton legends of sea creatures, mermaids and submerged cities. In July and August 2025, discover the “La mer au féminin” exhibition.
The chapel of Sainte Marine which overlooks the port offers a superb point of view. It is characteristic of the chapels of the region by its ex-votos and its wooden vaulted ceiling. A pardon, a traditional pilgrimage, is organized there every second Sunday in July.
If you feel like staying on the coast up to the tip of Combrit, you can take the opportunity to tour a pretty fort built in the Napoleonic era and which now hosts contemporary art exhibitions. From July 1 to August 28, the Fort de Sainte-Marine invites you to discover the black and white photographs of portraitist Michel Thersiquel.
At noon, several options are available to you: lunch in the sun at the Café de la Cale or picnic in peace, near the Sainte Marine lighthouse. In the evening you will find several crêperies nearby for a typical and friendly dinner.
Note: the Sainte Marine market takes place all year round on Wednesday mornings, Place de Grafenhausen.
