About Bay of Brest

The roadstead of Brest is a roadstead or bay located in the Finistère department in Brittany in northwestern France. The surface area is about 180 km². The port of Brest and one of the two French naval bases, Brest Arsenal, are located on its northern edge. It is linked to the Atlantic Ocean by the Goulet de Brest, a strait about 1.8 km wide. Three main rivers drain into the roadstead: the Penfeld, the Élorn and the Aulne.

On the show

There was news this year about a randy dolphin who shut down an entire beach in the Bay of Brest. There's this dolphin called Zafar — Jafar with a Z. People would go to the beach and swim with him and they could hold onto his fin, and he'd sort of bound around.
