[Summary]The northeastern coast, from Spernec Point to Poskedoul.
Le sentier côtier surplombe de petites plages encaissées. Au milieu des ronces et des fougères s'ouvrent quelques tunnels de verdure menant, par des ravines, à des criques coincées au pied des falaises, et que recouvre la marée haute.The coastal path overhangs small boxed beaches. Among the brambles and ferns, some tunnels of greenery open and lead, by deep gullies, to little intertidal splits wedged against the cliffs.
Algae are one of the richnesses of Brittany. Immense colonies of snails live in their foliations.
Patella vulgata Linnæus 1758, on lower intertidal rocks exposed to waves and splashes, as the eroded apices suggest.
Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg 1793), glued to a block of Glaucophanite, Spernec cove, at low tide.
Littorina littorea (Linnæus 1758) lives by zillions on the rocks of Spernec, in the upper intertidal. The white rolled gravels are eroded crystals of Albite (Sodium Aluminium Silicate) that one frequently finds in joints in the local green schists.
Trivia cf. arctica (Pulteney 1799) on underside of subtidal rock, among Ophiurids and other invertebrates. Spernec Point.
Boats asleep off Poskedoul, on the eastern side. The coast near the skyline belongs to Quiberon peninsula.
Larus ridibundus Linnæus 1766, at evening tide, Poskedoul cove.[next: from the Strang Nu to Nosterven]
