Geography
Guissény is a coastal town on the English Channel that is part of the "pays Pagan". It is limited to the northeast by a marine gulf, the gulf of Tressény, into which flows a small coastal river, the Quillimadec, which separates it from Kerlouan. To the west, it is limited by the Porz Olier, a small residual marine gulf that was once much larger. Most of the gulf has been transformed into a polder or pond due to the construction of a dyke that separates Guissény from Plouguerneau. Guissény extends westward to include a good part of the beach of Vougo - the other part being in Plouguerneau - where the coastal dunes reach an altitude of up to 13 meters at a place called "la Sècherie".To the west of Curnic, the coastal platform is several hundred meters wide and includes a number of emerged rocky islets: Karreg Hir, Golhédoc, Énez Du, Tilloc, and Énez Croaz-Hent.
