The port in the northeast of the city is located at the end of a channel connecting the bay of Les veys and was inaugurated in 1982. When the tide rises, the so-called muscaret can be seen from the lock that closes the entrance to the harbour: a phenomenon in which a wave that flows into the canal from the sea is broken by the resistance of the river water that flows into the sea in the opposite direction. (Michelin)

The Carentan Canal runs through an aqueduct dating from 1994 over the N13. So don't be surprised if you see sailing boats passing above you from the car. The structure presented the road and hydraulic engineers with many technical problems, including with regard to watertightness and drainage.
Le Pont-Canal : opened on June 6, 1994. Le Pont-Canal passes the national route 13 à 2 x 2 journeys (reliant Caen à Cherbourg) along the canal de Carentan à la mer sur le port. Le chantier a duré 22 mois avec en average 70 persons par jour.
