It might look ugly - but the huge harbour - with its 550 berth yacht marina, fishing port, 2 story fish market and marine conference centre at Saint Quay Portrieux on the Cote d'Armor, Brittany suffered no damage in the recent severe storms - and all that with a tide of 27 feet (Newlyn has 19 feet max )...

the original port can be seen bounded by the two inside breakwaters - unlike Penzance Harbour, the Breton planners and town council figured that extending the harbour and creating a new car park was probably a smarter move than filling in part of the existing harbour - with all the recent damage which will cost millions to restore to its previous glory perhaps now is the time to think bigger and better?
