Approach
Keep outshore of East Mouse. Entrance to harbour is difficult to see - looks like continuous concrete wall. Severe swell sets across entrance, yachts need to beware of tidal set onto cliffs.
Access to outer Harbour at all states of tide.
Dangers
Shore generally steep-to in approach. Main dangers are tidal overfalls offshore and across entrance.
Shelter
Outer harbour (built 1976) provides wall which is rough. Totally protected, but swell in strong northerlies. Pens offer excellent security and floating ‘pontoons’ (remains of offshore oil pipeline). Harbour dries to mud, limited space around fishing boats which use pens and Outer harbour. Inner Harbour, totally congested with dinghies, is only accessible by dinghy.
