Oyster-farming harbour on the north shore of the Bassin d'Arcachon, at Andernos-les-Bains in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Very shallow working basin, max draught 0.5 m, dries at low water springs. Access only around high water. Follow the Arcachon channel markers, the bassin is sensitive to strong westerlies. Port du Bétey lies 0.8 NM to the SE for deeper draughts.
Practical
Primarily a working port for oyster growers, limited visitor capacity. Tie-up reserved in priority for professionals. Plan to use Port du Bétey or Port de Fontainevieille 1.8 NM SE for overnight stays.
Ashore
Oyster shacks along the quay serve local Arcachon oysters on the half-shell. Jetée d'Andernos, the longest pier in the bay at 232 m, starts 300 m west of the port. Sentier du littoral runs around the bassin past salt meadows and bird reserves.
