 Audierne : Profile
This attractive, busy market town offers a very useful port of call. It is tucked into the NE corner of a large bay, just south of the Pointe du Raz.
If the tide is low, or your stop very brief, then the anchorage off Sainte Evette provides shelter in all but on-shore winds from the east. There are visitors' mooring buoys tucked behind the breakwater, or, in settled weather, an anchorage further out.
The marina in Audierne itself is best entered near HW and the curve of the channel followed closely, using the leading marks. The marina has developed from the original working fishing harbour and still retains its down to earth atmosphere. Minimum depth is 2m and maximum length is 14m.
