Locquirec (; ) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
==Geography== The village is built around the church and the marina. The town of Locquirec is home to several beaches: Port beach, in the center of the village, Pors Ar Villec, the White Sands, the Moulin de la Rive, and the Fond de la Baie beach. Whatever the direction of the wind, there is sure to be a sheltered beach. Port beach is very popular due to its exposure to the south-east, which is rare in northern Brittany. The town also has fairly high cliffs, up to fifty meters, forming peaks (Pointe du Château, Pointe du Corbeau, and Pointe northeast of Moulin de la Rive).
