Port Medoc. Visited July 2015. Night time arrival, clear port and stbd lights on harbor walls but no other lighting at the harbor entrance. Immediately inside the breakwaters are a series of unlit green buoys at the base of the wall and a single unlit red buoy marking the end of a floating barrier.
Multihull pontoon full of fishing boats, cats and assorted craft. Capitanerie, closed overnight, at the far end of the marina. Very crowded. Full marina facilities and pleasant marina staff. http://www.port-adhoc.com/en/marinas/port-medoc/
