Barre d'Étel

In explore

 

The bar of Étel is a sand bank in perpetual movement at the mouth of the Ria. It is the submarine continuation of the dune cordon of Penthievre to Gâvres, subject to the influence of winds and tidal currents. At low tide there is sometimes not enough depth to enter or exit. Sometimes sudden unfolding surges and unpredictable background waves are formed that are best avoided.
