Guide
Approach and anchoring
Enter via the Lorient main channel and bear west once past the Citadelle de Port-Louis. The bottom is mostly sand and holds well for common anchors, but stony patches are reported, so check the anchor is well dug in. Shelter is good from N, NE and NW winds. The anchorage opens to the S and SE and becomes uncomfortable with onshore breeze.
Practical
No services on site. Toulhars beach quay lies 0.9 NM to the NE for a dinghy landing. Lomener fishing harbour is 1.1 NM west with water, fuel and a slipway.
Ashore
The Kerguélen coastal dune is a protected Conservatoire du littoral site with a marked walking loop of about 2 km behind the beach. Larmor-Plage village centre is roughly 1.5 km on foot, with bakeries, a Carrefour and bus line 2 to Lorient.
