Guide

Approach and anchoring

Access strictly tide-dependent. Entry channel dries at low water, most crews plan HW plus or minus 2 hours. Follow the marked channel from the Gironde between the mudflats. Strong tidal streams of up to 3 knots in the main estuary, use spring flood to enter and ebb to leave.

Practical

About 84 berths, mainly for local boats. Water on pontoons, basic sanitary facilities. Limited visitor capacity, contact the harbour office in advance. Village of Chenac has a bakery and a café. Nearest larger shops at Cozes, 6 km inland.

Ashore

Former fishing carrelets lined along the estuary banks, characteristic square-net huts on stilts. Walking path along the cliffs of Meschers at 5 km north. Troglodyte caves of Regulus at Meschers at 6 km, open to visitors.
