Description

Vains is a quiet area with a little traffic in summer and good visibility over the entire bay. An observation of less than a nautical mile is possible with a telescope. A good pair of binoculars or a fairly powerful camera can also help, but a telescope is the best option.

Zone de tranquillité avec un peu de passage en été, bonne visibilité sur toute la baie. Une observation de moins d'un mille marin est possible avec l'équipement d'une longue-vue, une bonne paire de jumelles ou un appareil photos assez puissant peux aussi remplacé la longue-vue.
