Drying harbour of 430 berths at Larmor-Baden in the western Golfe du Morbihan, opposite the Île aux Moines and the Île de Berder.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach through the Golfe du Morbihan from the Port-Navalo entrance, then wind north of Berder. Maximum draught at the pontoons is 1 m so entry is tide dependent. Strong tidal streams run in the narrows between Berder and Larmor-Baden at mid tide, hard enough across the moorings to make getting on and off the boat awkward. Little shelter in a westerly. VHF 9.

Practical

430 berths managed by the commune, mostly resident, with a few visitor mooring buoys; call the harbour office on VHF 9 to be allocated one, as guidance on where to stay is thin. Around 13 euros a night for an 11 m boat. Water and shore power, capitainerie with showers. Wash from RIBs using the slipway can disturb the buoys. Shops, bakery and restaurants in Larmor-Baden village, 200 m from the pontoons.

Ashore

Passage on foot to Île de Berder at low water along the tombolo, 300 m from the harbour, passable about two hours either side of low water. The oyster bar Chez Lucien is by the village. Coastal path GR 34 runs along the shore to Pointe du Blair 1.7 NM to the west. Cairn de Gavrinis, a neolithic passage tomb from around 4000 BC, is visited by boat from the jetty.
