UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 26th Sep 2022
I reviewed these notes at the end of September 2022. They have added three RED buoys to seaward of the yellow Visitor's buoys in the outer harbour; these are for use by commercial operators (mainly red ribs for trippers)
I've added a link to the yacht club website and edited the link to the webcam. harbour dues have increased.

Approach from the West
Written by dononshytalk | 21st Oct 2011
Most of the local yachtsmen ignore the Horseshoe buoy off Bull Point. The Point itself is "steep to" and, although there is a noticeable increase in the swell as one passes, the overfalls do not start until a good quarter of a mile off the Point - fifty yards off and you save a very long treck around the buoy.
On the other hand, the next navigation point to the West is Mortpoint buoy and you go inside that at your peril!!
For drinking & entertainment - there are at least six pubs/eateries looking out over the harbour - the only problem is rowing back out to your boat!!!!!
