License-free boating in La Baule: the local waters
La Baule bay, stretched between Penchâteau point and Pornichet, is a welcoming stretch of water for a 6 hp boat: nine kilometres of beach seen from offshore, the Évens rocks in the middle of the bay, the Le Pouliguen channel with its colourful beach huts. In settled weather, and if the hire base allows it, the coast towards Le Croisic extends the trip to about 5 miles.
Two harbours, two regimes: Pornichet is accessible at any state of tide, whereas Le Pouliguen depends on it — so your departure point dictates your timetable. The bay, open to the south, catches south-westerly swell; in northerly winds, by contrast, it lies flat as a lake. Keep to 5 knots in the busy inshore band in summer.
