Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the NE or NW outside the rocks of Les Équets. Anchor on sand in 3 to 5 metres inside the cove, clear of the rocks along the edges. Holding is good on sand. Open to winds from E to SE, untenable in those conditions.
Practical
Forain anchorage with no services. Le Becquet 2,4 nm SW has a drying fishing harbour. Cherbourg-en-Cotentin marina 6 nm W has 1 500 berths, fuel, boatyard and all services.
Ashore
Sentier des douaniers GR 223 runs along the cliffs above the anse, linking Fermanville west to Cap Lévi lighthouse 3 km east. The beach is the only sandy cove on this stretch of the Val de Saire coast.
