Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the north on sight, keeping clear of the drying rocks off the Pointe de Plestin. The anchorage lies off a sandy beach between two rocky points that give some lateral shelter. Shelter from NW through S to SE; open to the east and to NE swell. Depths reduce quickly inshore, sound carefully on the final approach.

Practical

Lunch stop on sand in settled weather. Nearest all-tide refuge is Locquirec harbour 2.5 NM east; Port Diben lies 4.7 NM west for a westerly escape.

Ashore

The GR 34 customs path runs along the slope just above the beach, though the climb up from the shore is not easy.
