Tidal harbour at the foot of a steep hill. Limited movement for vessels 2 hrs before and 2hrs after low water at peak tides. Very unstable pontoons with dangerous holes in some of the cubes. No fresh water points or electricity points. No filling stations for fuel. One toilet block. clean, but no washing facilities. Only one small store at the top of the hill. Locals may give you a lift if you ask. Approaches to the harbour can be hazardous with creel leaders filling the whole channel. Pricing a bit steep for what you are paying for. Harbour cafe open in the summer only at certain times. On the positive, local people are very friendly and helpful. Good area for watching dolphins, whales and the gannet nesting colony 5 mins away. Good sea angling with many species of fish, crab or lobsters. Enjoy.
