The Port du Crouesty is located at the entrance of the Gulf of Morbihan, in southern Brittany, in the town of Arzon. Very well located, at the western end of the peninsula of Rhuys, it is one of the central points of the bay of Quiberon. It was created in 1973 on an old lagoon, by a political will of economic development of the department of Morbihan.
Wishing to avoid a gigantic port, 5 juxtaposed basins were built with respect for the environment, favoring green spaces, pedestrian links and parking lots in sufficient number.
This port is the largest marina in Brittany, it can accommodate more than 1400 pleasure boats on pontoons (including 143 berths are reserved for passage and a visitor basin under the harbour master’s office).
