Port Calvados

Protected by a 770 m granite block breakwater, this private port is accessible 16 hours a day. It includes a sluice basin, an afloat basin and a tidal basin. Port-Deauville offers exceptional services: concierge service and a 24-hour human presence at the lock. The show is also on the docks where boats of wealthy people are often moored. The marina, combining holiday and pleasure boating, faces the port of Trouville, so close, so different.

Port-Guillaume, built in the 1990s on the site of a former metallurgy factory, has the largest capacity in the Côte Fleurie. It is located at the mouth of the Dives estuary, sheltered by a dune ridge. A nice stopover for boaters between Deauville and Ouistreham. The wet dock offers a capacity of 600 berths on catwalks. A residential area with restaurants, a media library, and a sailing school, Port-Guillaume is adjacent to the fishing port, with its fish auction. A market is held on Monday mornings in season

If you're lucky enough to own a boat, don't hesitate to visit this friendly, well-equipped marina: water and electric hook-up from the pontoon, toilets, showers, fuel, mechanic, and laundry nearby, WiFi, launching ramp, 10-berth waiting pontoon, 8-ton crane, and careening area. All this at an affordable price, which varies according to boat size. Information at the harbour office or town hall.

A nice stopover to visit this little port famous for its Saint-Jacques shell. But not only. A village of fishermen, beautiful, calm and pleasant, nestled between its guards of the cliffs of cliffs that we discover when arriving at the port and which can be seen, from the higher, since the Tour Vauban. Take the time to stroll, make full of food; to take a drink on the terrace and visit the fishermen at the auction, before resuming the sea.

It is one of the five harbour basins in the city. For, despite its location, Caen has always been a port city. As early as the Middle Ages, it had its own port to facilitate economic exchanges as much as possible. It should be noted that at that time, the river Orne was navigable. Now, it is the canal built in 1857 that links the city to the sea. After its west wharf was put forward in the 2000s, the southern part of the sector was reconfigured with the opening of the Rives de l'Orne and, more recently, the redevelopment of the peninsula.

Pleasant marina where it is good to spend a few days to enjoy the shopping streets, restaurants and small bistros, the beach, museums, including the Juno Beach Centre. It's a great opportunity to meet the fishermen. The port with some 20 boats is strongly anchored and attached to the activity at sea. A wide variety of fish, shellfish and crustaceans are landed throughout the year. Stock up on provisions every day at the stalls of the Allied dock. It's rare to find anything better on the coast.
