Anchorage

La petite cale

Seabed: sand
Anchoring: Allowed

Small sand anchorage on the Ploemeur coast of the Morbihan, west of Lomener and sheltered by the Île aux Souris.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south through the pass between the Île aux Souris and the mainland, watch the drying rocks on both sides. Sand bottom, good holding, but room is tight and it can be awkward once a yacht or two are already in. Local craft lie on buoys and visitors anchor outside them. Best kept for settled weather with the wind in the northern sectors, from NW through N to E. No lit marks, enter in daylight only.

Practical

No services. Drying rocks close in at the head of the cove. Port de Lomener is 1.2 NM east with a slipway and small craft moorings, and the harbour of Toulhars at Larmor-Plage lies 3.2 NM east with fuel and a chandlery.

Ashore

The GR 34 coast path runs above the cove and reaches the Fort-Bloqué causeway in 2 km to the west. Ploemeur town centre with shops and market on Tuesday mornings is about 3 km inland.
