About
Overlooking the dunes of Hatainville, the rocky outcrops of Cap de Carteret offer an exceptional panorama of the Channel Islands. On the Cap's rocky plateau, the European gorse moorland is home to the lively and stealthy pitchou warbler, while the common raven and peregrine falcon regularly flirt with the shale and sandstone escarpments where the drop helianthemum has established itself. Around the lighthouse, the recently restored drystone walls help to preserve the site and guide visitors along the cliffs of the Côte des Isles.
