Approach and Entrance - If approaching from south a wide berth of Citadel Point is recommended.

It is possible to berth on the on the seaward side of South pier, there are 2 berths available with ladders set into the quay. For bilge keel yachts and twin hulls that can take the beach safely there is normally space available on the sandy beach on the east side of west quay. It is not known if reservations are required. Anchoring is not permitted within harbour, yachts can anchor clear of the entrance to the east of the South Pier.
