Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the rade de Brest via the chenal du Toulinguet and the passe sud, watching the tidal streams that run hard through the approaches. Mud bottom with good holding. Sheltered from most sectors thanks to the surrounding headlands, though it lies more open to the SW.
Practical
Free white mooring buoys are laid in the cove and there is room to anchor, but no services on the spot. Port de Tevenez lies 0.6 nm E for a run ashore; Moulin Mer sits 2.4 nm N for shelter in stronger N winds.
Ashore
A forest walk leads off from the shore. The cove lies near Porz Coz, between the road bridge and a ship graveyard on the mud. Some car noise carries from the bridge.
