Anybody Know Saint-Cast Port d'Armor?

[DJE]

Would it be possible to leave the boat there for three weeks? We're thinking of the last two weeks of June and first week of July, I hear rumours that it is very busy, possibly full. And what are the connections like to the St. Malo ferry?

Been there and loved it, and that was probably mid/late June. Didnt have any problem with a berth, thouh it was only a few days.I seem to recall they speak English, so a phone call should explain all.
I did even think of keeping the boat there, but it must be a fair old trip over to St Malo by cab.
If you like mussels, you wont ever get further than the cafes on the quay !

Not an especially helpful reply but it's the endpoint for the Cruising Association's Northern France & Channel Island's rally*, mid-late July this year because those who know about these things say it's a great marina. We've managed to book places for a dozen or so boats, so it can't be chokka. I could let you know the contact details of the CA's local rep there who could answer your question, but if I did I'd be drummed out of the regiment. I understand there's the possibility of a local ferry across to St Malo.

*there may be places still available for non-members to join, if you're interested PM me.

If you have some spare time, there's a fine walk around the headland.

I've always found space there in June. Been visiting since it was part built. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Scenic, sheltered, easy access day or night. Recommended!

We loved it, but it is getting quite busy, as people have mentioned above. There is a straightforward bus link to St Malo from the town centre we used on a wet day. If they are full, perhaps Binic would be an option, it is quieter due to tidal limitations? That has a bus link too, with a change en route IIRC.
