Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the east with care for the rocks extending off the headland of Beg er Sennerion. Sheltered only from W winds and exposed to all other directions. Holding is good on the sand but the bottom is uneven, with two sandy sections split by a shoal and rock outside them where anchors have snagged and been lost, so buoy the anchor and drop on a clear patch. The thermal wind often backs east at night and sets the anchorage rolling.

Practical

No services at the anchorage. Port de l'Argol 0.6 NM to the W is the main harbour of Hoedic, and Port de la Croix lies 0.8 NM to the SW, both with moorings and limited shore services. Hoedic village about 15 minutes on foot has a bakery, a supérette, a bar and a restaurant, but no cash machine.

Ashore

Hoedic village, with the Fort de Hoedic now converted to a small maritime museum, is about 800 m on foot. The island, roughly 2,5 km long, is entirely within the Natura 2000 Mor Braz area.
