The easily accessible popular slipway offers good launch facilities and is particularly busy during summer weekends as the facility is also used by the local sailing club and surrounding businesses, so please be patient when using the slipway.
Please be aware that NO PARKING is allowed on the quayside or on the slipway and that the use of the slipway is at the Harbour Superintendants discretion.
The harbour dries onto firm sand and a 4x4 is essential at low water springs. Visiting boat owners or inexperienced mariners should seek advice from the Harbour Office before attempting any launch/recovery operation.
