description
Très beau mouillage atypique, protégé par un cordon littoral s’étendant sur plus de 3 milles nautiques. Ce cordon, composé de sable, s’est formé en remplacement de l’estran tel que représenté sur les cartes marines, offrant une bonne protection contre la houle de secteur sud. À l’extrémité de ce cordon, plusieurs colonies de morses sont fréquemment observées.
Approche : le courant du chenal peut être assez vif. De H-3 à H+3 par rapport à la pleine mer, le flot porte vers le nord.
Mouillage : on mouille par 5 à 6 mètres d’eau, sur fond de sable, à environ 3 encablures à l’ouest du phare, sensiblement à mi-distance entre celui-ci et l’extrémité ouest de la péninsule.
