The rocky finger of the Pointe du Grouin points out and protects the entrance into the bay of Mont Saint Michel.

On this headland, a Grande Randonnée runs around hugging the cliff face and there is a circular walk starting out from Cancale.

On their way the walker can enjoy views of the Île des Landes a long barren outcrop (now a bird sanctuary), the lighthouse, the Îles Chaussey, Granville on the Normandy coast, and , on a clear day, the outline of Mont Saint Michel.
