Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the west clear of the coast. The shoreline is fringed with drying rocks and the bottom is rocky, so pick a sand patch visually in settled weather. Holding is poor on weed and stone. Shelter from SE through S to W only; exposed to N and NE swells that wrap around the Cap Sizun headlands. Local mooring buoys take the shallows, so boats anchor deep, 5 to 14 m near the rocks south-east of the slipway; wind can nearly double as it funnels over the point on the approach.

Practical

No facilities and no water. The mooring buoys are the locals' own; a slipway and small quay allow landing by dinghy to walk the coast path. Audierne lies 5.7 NM to the SE as the nearest all-weather refuge, Port du Men-Brial on the Île de Sein 7.8 NM to the W. Day stop in calm weather only.

Ashore

The GR 34 coastal path runs along the cliff tops above the bay and links Pointe de Brézellec to Pointe du Van in about 3 km. Small car park and viewpoint at Pointe de Brézellec, roughly 50 m of elevation above the water.
