The Port Navalo, part III !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

And voilà this is another peninsula in my lovely Morbihan of my gorgeous Bretagne in my belle France. I come here often and as often do not take pictures, sort of like a local habit nowdays I guess. This time wanted to put new pictures taken this week, into my blog and new text of beautiful Port Navalo ,part III !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Let me tell you, this is a harbor area with the sea, beaches, boats of all sorts and great seafood restaurant to boot. WE love it!!! It is about an hour from my house. I have written before on Port Navalo as said we come here often ,and were again this week. This coastal resort offers a panorama of Quiberon and Locmariaquer as well as the interior of the Gulf. The harbor of Port Navalo and its traditional port. Formerly animated by fishing, it is today a holiday resort. The view dominates the currents of the narrow gully which marks the entrance to the gulf of Morbihan and its islands which close the horizon. 

The Grande Plage de Port-Navalo ; which is ,also, the best. aka plage de Port Blanc beach,.this pleasant sandy beach is particularly popular with families. The services nearby are numerous: parking, first aid station, picnic tables, restaurants, beach clubs and playground. Little extra: The Breizh Sable Tour stops here every year for a week to introduce children to the art of sand sculpture free of charge.

The phare de la pointe or lighthouse of the tip of Port Navalo ; since 1840, a lighthouse indicates the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. The current lighthouse dates from 1891. Port-Navalo is an excellent refuge in bad weather from south Strait the port is connected by sea links to Belle-Ile, Houat and Hoëdic islands. The lighthouse is an iconic and charming place, offering a splendid view of the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. The walk around it is pleasant and allows you to admire both the ocean and the gulf, with a unique panorama at sunset.

Méaban is an uninhabited islet located in Mor braz at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. The island is uninhabited and is the site of a bird sanctuary. It is a site of prime importance for the nesting of the great black-backed gull, the lesser black-backed gull and the European shag. The following species of terns: Sandwich tern, at the end of the 1960s, the island of Méaban hosted the largest French colony with 3,800 pairs; Common tern; Roseate tern. The Méaban sector has a mussel bed. Buissons de Méaban diver with depths of 2 meters to 12 meters dive night time and on or boat.

The Passeur des Îles shipping company runs between Locmariaquer and the Rhuys Peninsula, the boat is more convenient! Locmariaquer and Port Navalo (Arzon) mark the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. While only a kilometer separates them, it takes over an hour to travel by car! By boat, the journey becomes a pleasant stroll along the Gulf’s currents. On the Locmariaquer side, beaches and megalithic sites punctuate the walks. On the Arzon side, Port Navalo is the starting point for a hike or bike ride along the many trails and cycle paths of the Rhuys Peninsula. Round trips are only valid for a single day.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years.

It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
