In fact, several beaches on the Crozon peninsula are considered amongst the best-known in the surfing community.<\/p>\n<p>Two of best beaches of Crozon for surfing and catching those colossal Atlantic waves, are the beaches at La Palue and its neighbouring Lostmarc\u2019h. Lostmarch\u2019s incredible Pointe de Kerdra viewing point has long been a popular lure for photographers and artists, keen to make the incredible vista their subject.<\/p>\n<p>For less advanced surfers, the calmer waters found at Anse de Morgat provide a more suitable spot to learn the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Another popular pastime on the Crozon peninsula is exploring the caves that have been slowly eaten away by the sea.
