From Donnant to Grand Guet : you will find many caves along the shore; some of them are accessible when the sea is calm (which is not so frequent). Caution ! when there is a strong wind or a large swell, the sea is dangerous; the waves may climb high above the cliff and trap the walker or the fisherman.

Between Donnant and Vazen, facing the rocks of Ridjedew, you may find a commemorative marble plaque fixed in the rock. Similarly, in the glen of Kouar Men, you may see two commemorative plaques for a father and his son.

The sea bed is beautiful along the rocks. There are many barnacles (Pollicipes cornucopiae) on the rocks of Ridjedew and Beg Lam. You can visit two beaches: Donnant (one of the famous sites of Belle-Ile) and Vazen, which is more quiet and appreciated by families with young children.
