Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the north on the Pertuis Breton side, keeping clear of the oyster beds east of the anse. Sand bottom, depths of 2 to 3 metres at low water, boats over 1.8 m draught should arrive on a rising tide. Shelter from NW and N; it is open to the east, and even in a small swell the sea reflects off the La Pallice breakwater opposite and sets up an uncomfortable roll. Anchor well off the beach, which shoals quickly. A buoyed channel gives easy dinghy landing.

Practical

Most of the visitor buoys have been lifted to protect the seabed, with only a couple left and the rest privately held, so anchor on the sand. No water or fuel on site. Port de Rivedoux-Plage is 0.9 nm NW with a fuel berth and visitor pontoons. La Flotte marina at 3.4 nm NW offers a full-service harbour.

Ashore

Rivedoux-Plage village at 1.5 km on foot along the coastal path, with bakery, grocery and beach. The bar Le Ré Glisse stands opposite the anchorage beside the sailing club. Pont de l'Ile de Ré, the 2 926 metre road bridge opened in 1988, spans the strait 2 km east and is visible from the anchorage. Cycle route EV1 Vélodyssée crosses Rivedoux and links to the whole island network.
