Guide
Approach and anchoring
Sand bottom, holding reasonable. Shelter from SW, W and NW. Fully exposed to N and NE winds that build a short chop across the bay. Clear approach from the south, no charted dangers within the immediate swinging circle. A mooring field lies off the beach; anchor outside it, further out than the marker suggests, as the bay shoals towards the shore over the wide tidal range. It can be slightly swelly even in light wind.
Practical
No services. Saint-Cast-Port d'Armor marina 1.2 nm north has 800 berths, water, diesel and full shore facilities. Port du Chatelet 2.6 nm south-east is a small drying harbour for tenders.
Ashore
Saint-Cast beach runs 2 km along the bay, reached by dinghy, with a set of steps on the shore for a likely landing. GR 34 coastal path passes above the anchorage and links to Cap Frehel in about 15 km to the west.
