Anchorages
A moderate size vessel can anchor close within the entrance and secure its stern to two mooring buoys in the centre of the harbour. It is advisable to give previous notice of arrival, in order that the central and W area of the harbour may be cleared of the small craft which usually anchor there.

Entry, usually by day, is dangerous with SE winds. Entry and departure are prohibited during the hours of darkness and strong SE'ly winds.
The light structure, exhibited from the head of the mole, must be given a berth of at least 70m when entering harbour. The spur extending from the end of the Outer Mole constricts the entrance. Masters should remain at least 70m from the Outer Mole Head.
