2 Reviews on “Baie de Saint-Jean”
The shallow rocks that protect the bay don’t always block the swell. It’s recommended to drop two anchors, facing the swell for confort, in about 3 meters of water.
The Saint-Jean Bay, close to the airport, is fringed by a long white sandy beach featuring numerous restaurants and a water activities center. You can anchor in the southeastern part of the bay.
Access to the bay is through an unmarked channel with a maximum depth of 13 meters. It’s best to choose a clear day and wait for the sun to be high for better visibility.
