Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach inside the gulf where tidal streams run hard, up to 6 knots in the Grande Passe off Port-Navalo on spring tides. Work the tide and use the Arz channel; the anchorage itself carries little current. Sheltered from W, SW and S, exposed to the north and north-east, and well tucked in W and NW winds. The bottom is soft mud: it holds well for most, even in 20 knots, but can be slow to bite in strong wind, so dig the anchor in. Lie a little off the shore to find 8 to 10 metres at mid-tide.

Practical

No facilities on the anchorage. Cale du Beluré is 1.6 NM N for landing by tender. Arz village pontoon lies 0.7 NM NW with water and a small shop.

Ashore

Île d'Arz coastal path runs the whole perimeter of the island, about 17 km marked. Tidal mill of Berno on the south shore, restored 18th-century building. Passenger ferry from Béluré pontoon links to Vannes and Conleau for day trips.
