Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south, between the Île Verte and the Men Du rocks. VHF channel 9. Maximum draught 5 metres. Anchoring in the outer harbour is possible in calm weather or a northerly, but avoid it in a westerly, which leaves large boulders close astern.

Practical

The 178 berths serve local and fishing boats, with little provision for visitors. Calls on VHF 9 often go unanswered and the listed telephone number may not connect. The only visitor moorings are two exposed buoys outside the harbour, with no shelter, so a westerly makes for a rough stay. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Village shops and restaurants a short walk from the quay.

Ashore

Coastal GR34 footpath runs along the shore in both directions. Sandy beaches of Trévignon and Don sit immediately east and west of the harbour. Port Manec'h on the Aven estuary lies 4.6 NM east, same distance to Port de Kerdruc on the Aven river.

History

Trévignon grew as a sardine fishing port in the 19th century. The coastal battery built above the harbour dates from the Napoleonic era and was reused during the Second World War.
