DESCRIPTION. A small marina that, by nature of the depth and height restrictions on the approach, caters for smaller sailing vessels and motor yachts. Once under the road bridge the shelter within the harbour is good and excellent in the marina. Approach difficult in NW winds > F6 in narrow entrance; alternative shelter should be sought.
