A picturesque anchorage which provides shelter from winds north to south through east, also in light winds from the west to northwest. Vessels capable of taking the bottom may ground on a falling tide at La Lague, the beach below  the Imperial Hotel, when no swell is present. The bottom is firm sand with the occasional stone, and vessels should arrive at the beach in excess of 7.5 m height of tide in order to negotiate the low lying rock at the foot of the sandy bay.

There is a small grocery shop, a cafe and The Imperial Hotel which offers a large selection of meals for non residents. For those that would like to cook for themselves there is a shop selling fresh shell fish, oysters and moules. There is also a telephone and a regular bus service.

There are several beach kiosks around the bay with the one at Chouet having the best chocolate cake in the island!

A sheltered anchorage in E-NE winds but subject to be affected by a HW swell during mid-Atlantic gales, which invariably subsides from half tide downwards, as it does in most anchorage's on the South coast of Guernsey. A superb anchorage to be recommended during calm settled weather, or during winds from north through to east. Anchor in 2- 5 m, fine sand, NE of Mouilliere.

Petit Port   

A beautiful sandy beach from half tide down and if one feels energetic then a climb of over 300 steps is rewarded with a superb view and a small tea room and pub (Auberge du Val) just a short walk away.

Moulin Huet  

A sandy beach with numerous rock pools and a small tea room about 50 yards up the cliff path. It is in this area where Renoir did some of his famous paintings.

Saint's Bay

A small cove culminating in a steep sheltered valley and stream, identified by the Martello Tower nestling on the slope and a  number of small boats moored fore and aft from a quay on the SW side of the Bay. There is room for a few anchored vessels at LW clear inshore of the local moorings in 3 m, sand, but a drying boue exactly in the centre of this area must be avoided.

There is a small cafe just inshore of the sea wall selling hot and cold snacks. The proprietor also has a small art gallery of mainly local water colours.

Le Jaonnet and La Bette Bays situated in the NE corner of Icart Bay provide idyllic seclusion in calm  light N - NE airs in 3.5-4 m, sand. At the western side of the Bay lies a small but stoney picturesque cove at the foot of Petit Bot valley, again with a Martello Tower. A close neighbour to the west with a more acceptable sandy beach is Portelet. It is possible to anchor SW of the drying rock in 5 m, sand. There is a tea room selling hot and cold snacks and also a telephone box.

Close to Petit bot, anchor in 8 m of water, sand between the Vieux Poulain and Pointe de la Moye, and just east of the local moorings. Access is very limited up a step slipway used by local fishermen. There is a restaurant at the top the track with a telephone.
