Guide
Approach and anchoring
Rock bottom gives poor holding, check the anchor carefully. Sheltered from NW, N, NE and W but fully open to the S and SW. Strong tidal streams offshore on the Raz Blanchard axis, plan arrival near slack water.

No services. Port Diélette lies 2.4 nm N and Barneville-Carteret 8.7 nm S, both with full marina facilities.
