Ploumanac'h should be approached only in reasonably calm conditions during daytime. Red and green spar beacons mark the channel to the inner harbour. The inner harbour has a sill to maintain 2.55m of water within. It is possible to anchor outside of the harbour but this is dependent on tide. If you miss the tide, at one mile distance to the west there is an all-tide entrance to the anchorage at Tregastel-Plage with some buoys for visitors.

The Mao in this case is a Breton name rather than Chinese. Several good restaurants specialising in seafood. Hotel de Rochers, try the lobster in coral butter. Hotel le Phare for the cotriade, a Breton fish stew. Local Area - Great sandy beaches. Interesting walks both along the coastline and inshore.
