Brest harbour

The Bay of Brest is a large bay of 180 m² connected to the Iroise Sea by a 1.8 km wide passage called the Brest Narrows (sheltered from storms and virtually closed by the Roscanvel peninsula).

It's impossible to spend any time in Brest without feeling the urge to sail or swim in the harbour! Sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing, stand-up paddling, scuba diving... Before being a commercial port, Brest is above all a seaside town. In fact, it's Brittany's leading yachting port.

You can also visit the harbour on a motorboat or an old sailing ship! The one called La Recouvrance takes you out for a day or half-day sail around the harbour. It's the ideal way to watch the sunset and enjoy a unique moment with family or friends.
