Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach through the Anse de Kernic requires care on a rising tide. The bay dries extensively at low water and entry is generally possible within two to three hours of high water. Rocks and sand banks line both sides of the channel. VHF 71.

Practical

Drying berths on sand and small pontoon facilities. No fuel berth on site. A sailing school by the port has toilets, and it may be possible to spend a night on a buoy by asking locally. Shops, bakery and supermarket in Plouescat village within walking distance.

Ashore

Sandy beaches of Pors Meur and Porsguen within 2 km of the port. A crêperie sits a few steps from the port. Coastal path GR34 passes along the bay. Plouescat covered market hall dating from the 16th century stands in the village centre about 1.5 km inland.
