Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the main gulf channel north of the Île aux Moines. Strong tidal streams run through the gulf, reaching 5 to 6 knots on springs at the Port-Navalo narrows, so time the passage around slack water. Sandy holding. Depth over the mooring field varies with position and the shallower berths carry much less water at low tide, so sound before settling. Open to winds from the north and north-east sector.

Practical

The moorings are laid and charged by the commune of Arradon, with no services on the water. Arradon harbour lies 0.6 nm east for water and dinghy landing. Port-Blanc is 1 nm south towards the Île aux Moines ferry pier.

Ashore

The village of Arradon is a 15-minute walk from the quay, with bakery, food shops and restaurants along rue du Père Coudrin. Coastal path GR 34 skirts the shore, reaching Pointe d'Arradon in under 1 km with open views over the gulf islands.
