La Pointe d'Arradon

Marked by the red pole.

The Golfe has always appeared very calm when I've visited. But now I
understand that there are very strong currents in places. Indeed, boats have been
seen to be sailing backwards, because the strength of the current is greater
than the power of the boats' engines.
And sometimes waves can be a metre high.
