There are no hazards in the approach. Entry to the marina is from due east in a long arc around the eastern breakwater. The entrance has a tendency to silt up so keep to the side with the red light when entering and leaving. The entrance is lit at night, red and green flashing 3 seconds. If you have not been to the marina before, radio the marina and they will send someone in an inflatable to guide you in.
Berthing
Berthing assistance is available. Berth where instructed on one of the 13 pontoons - the marina staff are all very helpful. Radio in on 74 and a man will come and guide you to your space. The berths are secure, with two bow lines per berth. They do not like chains on the stern lines as they make the stanchions corrode.
