Guide

Approach and anchoring

Shallow anchorage that dries partly at low water of spring tides. Follow the buoyed channels of the Bassin and time arrival on a rising tide. Exposed to W and SW winds which raise a short chop across the basin.

Practical

History

Andernos-les-Bains developed as a seaside resort from the 1860s once the railway from Bordeaux reached the Bassin. The pier was rebuilt several times after storm damage, the current structure dating from 1991.
