There is also a small bolted crag next to the coast path 1km to the SE.
Park in the won of Saint-Guirec (also signed to as Ploumanac'h) and follow the wide path towards the lighthouse (or 'phare'). There are boulders below the lighthouse, on short promontory just before the lighthouse and further southwest towards the bay. Also some problems above and left (looking out) of the main beach which are worth a look. There is certainly more to be found as well on the tidal isles to the north west and further east along the coast.
Spent a few short sessions here on a family holiday and was quite impressed. There is climbing along a kilometer of coast at least. Lots of the boulders are quite scrattly but those nearer the sea much less so. Some are quite featureless but given the amount of rock there's loads to do and some stunning lines. The height of the boulders and the landings meant that we chose to top rope quite a bit. If i was going back i'd take a rack (which we didnt have), with big friends (5&6) and lots of pads! The guy i was climbing with is french and he reckons theres been a conscious decision not to document the boulders to allow people to explire themselves. We probably climbed about 30 problems/short routes, the best of which was probably a fist to offwidth roof crack that i reckon is about e2 5c but i should probably give hvs 5b for forms sake... it is about 200m south of the lighthouse and faces out to sea.
