Kastel a Plouz

Kastel a Plouz is an anchorage off Hœdic island, a tiny, car-free island in the Morbihan that feels like it's been left mostly to the seabirds and the tide. Drop the hook here and you're well placed to explore the island on foot — the full coastal loop trail rates exceptionally highly and gives you rugged Atlantic scenery in a compact package. The water runs clear and calm on a fair day, and jellyfish conditions are even tracked here in season, so worth checking before you swim.
