description
Very beautiful anchorage, well protected. Drop the anchor in 4 to 5 meters on a sandy bottom offering good holding. The water is clear, and otters regularly swim around the boat.
You can moor your dinghy to the ladder of the small dock at the port, where fresh water is also available.
A walking trail goes all around the island, with access points on each side of the port. Grey seals are often visible in the northern bays.
A toilet, shower, and a kitchenette are available at the ferry terminal.
Although two ferries provide a daily connection with the main island, there are no shops on shore. This beautiful stopover is worth lingering.
