TAKE CARE OF PASSING TRAFFIC WHEN WALKING ON ROADS

Leaving the car park at the far end. Keep to the principal path past a disused quarry on your right. This will take you around the Chouet Loophole Tower and around the back of a German Bunker (the pistol range).

Walk past the recycling area and onto the path that passes on the seaward side of the Refuse Tip and on around the headland. Pass round the small bay (La Jaonneuse Bay) and on towards the small fort on the next headland.

Follow the path to the right which takes you to and around the wide sandy Pembroke Bay. Then the path continues round a series of headlands passing a rifle range, Fort Doyle and eventually Beaucette Marina.

Walk behind the restaurant and join the road. In the absence of a coast path on this stretch, walk signage will then guide you around lanes until you reach a path along a grass bank that takes you to Bordeaux Harbour. Take the road around the bay to Checkpoint 6, located at the Kiosk at the far side of the bay.
