Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the S of the Grand Mouton cardinal mark and follow the buoyed channel into the Golfe. The pass runs strong tidal streams, up to 8 knots at springs on the ebb. Drop on sand W of the ferry jetty, clear of the fairway. Sheltered from SE, S and SW, but the shelter goes once the wind backs to WNW or west, and a westerly swell sets it rolling at high water.

Practical

Water on the town quay. Port du Crouesty 0,7 NM by road to the W, one of the largest marinas on the Atlantic coast with 1 500 berths, fuel, boatyard and all services. Shops and restaurants along the quay of Port-Navalo.

Ashore

A white-sand beach lies at the anchorage with easy landing, and the village is a 15 to 25 minute walk round by the coastal path. Passenger ferry services to Locmariaquer, Île-aux-Moines and Île d'Arz from the jetty. Pointe de Port-Navalo lighthouse, built in 1840, stands 100 m W of the quay. Coastal path of the Sentier des Douaniers runs along the Rhuys peninsula from the lighthouse.
