France Le Créac’h Lighthouse from Beg Biniglou
An iconic view from Ouessant, with the most powerful lighthouse of Europe. Beg Biniglou is the right place if you want to get the lighthouse AND the jagged coast.
Photography Tips
A telephoto lens will be needed. This photo has been taken with a 300 mm.
Travel Information
Ouessant is accessible by plane from Brest Airport, or by boat from Brest and Le Conquet
Renting a bicycle is very popular, but not very convenient for landscape photographers who have to lug an heavy backpack and a sturdy tripod : the island is not so flat and it is often very windy. Better to rent a car (there is one single garage on Ouessant) or use a taxi.
Summer is definitely not the best period: Ouessant reveals its best mood with a tough weather. April would be my best recommendation.
