Approach and anchoring
Approach from the Baie de Quiberon, keeping clear of the rocks off Pointe Churchill. Anchor on sand in 2 to 5 metres. Shelter from N through E; open to southerly winds and the prevailing SW swell. Anse du Pô lies 0.8 NM N and Port de Carnac 0.9 NM E for a tighter harbour if the weather turns.
Practical
Water available ashore. No pontoon, no fuel, no harbour master. Shops in Carnac-Plage within walking distance of the beach.
Ashore
Saint-Colomban beach fronts the anchorage. Alignments of Carnac standing stones, a Neolithic site dating to 4500-3300 BC, lie about 2 km inland. Restaurants and shops of Carnac-Plage are within 500 m of the beach.
