Anchorage under the lee of Île Tomé, off the pink granite coast north of Perros-Guirec.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Rock and weed bottom, holding variable, reset if the anchor drags through kelp. It shelters best in a fresh SW to NW blow, exposed to E and NE; in light airs swell wraps around the island and it rolls, and the wind can back and veer around it. Numerous fishing floats and locker buoys lie about, thickest at the south end, so a boat may swing among them, and rock at the edge of the anchoring area can scrape the chain. Perros-Guirec 2.3 NM SW, Port Le Goff 1.7 NM SE; numerous rocks north of the island, entry from the south.

Practical

No services on the island. It is a handy place to wait for the Perros-Guirec harbour gate to open. Reprovisioning at Perros-Guirec marina.

Ashore

Île Tomé is uninhabited and part of the Réserve naturelle des Sept-Îles managed zone, landing subject to bird protection rules during the breeding season. Sentier des douaniers GR34 runs along the mainland coast opposite, from Perros-Guirec to Ploumanac'h.
