The town lies about 5 km from Audierne on the road to Douarnenez and is connected to Plouhinec by a small, scenic road that passes through the Goyen valley.

It is twinned with the civil Parish of Constantine in Kerrier, Cornwall.

Inhabitants of Pont-Croix are called in French Pontécruciens.

From Pont-Croix, short trips can be made to Pointe du Raz, Pointe du Van, and Baie des Trépassés. On the road to Audierne, one can enjoy a marvelous view of the Goyen river valley. The Monastery Church of Notre-Dame de Roscudon, which dates from the early 13th century, has a 67 m high spire that served as the model for the spires of Quimper Cathedral. Pont-Croix's cobbled streets (Ruelles pavées) and medieval houses are located around a market and a church. The market is held every Thursday morning.
