Watersports — kayaking & sailing
The essentials
Watersports (kayaking and sailing) are practised between the Trieux and Jaudy estuaries, facing the Bréhat archipelago, on the Presqu'île sauvage (Côtes-d'Armor). From Maison Od Joge, several coves allow launching; kayaking and sailing are planned according to the tides and wind.
Between the Trieux and Jaudy estuaries, facing the Bréhat archipelago, watersports follow the rhythm of the tides and the wind.
How to reach Watersports — kayaking & sailing from the house?
Several launching points near the house: Kermagen (~2 km, 5 min by car) and local coves accessible on foot from the hameau de l'Armor.
