Things to see and do Pornichet

Heading towards the marina, to the left of the dike. Its proud appearance and fortifications are worth noting, as they seem to be 18th century remains, behind which the old village protected itself. It was a strategic point that controlled access to La Baule Bay with the Pointe de Penchâteau. Pointe du Bé was completely renovated and inaugurated two years ago. A complete facelift very appreciated for a pleasant family walk along a wooden esplanade. Trees and wild herbs preserve the authentic aspect of the coast and its rocky beach, which makes this place a popular spot for fishermen on foot who find mussels, periwinkles, Berns. We will meet the splendid Château des Tourelles, facing the sea, where we can even take a chic break to quench our thirst or have a bite to eat facing the sea.

It has the advantage of being located 5 minutes walk from the city centre. Opened in 1979, the deepwater port has 1,150 rings, 150 of which are open to visitors in all weathers and 24 hours a day. It also has a fuel pontoon. The port extends over 16,000 m². It is a very lively place in summer with its bars, restaurants... The stranding port (boulevard des Océanides ✆ 02 40 61 61 61 06) is intended for small boats (427 anchorages). Completely refurbished for the 2019 season, the bridge connecting the port to Pornichet, today almost a footbridge with grazing lighting at night, gives pride of place to soft traffic, pedestrians and bicycles and still offers a superb view of the Pointe du Bec, with its beautiful isolated villas and rocks, as well as the harmonious curve of Baie de La Baule. The port is also the starting point for sailing races such as the Match-Racing French Open.
