Clearance
This is no longer a Port of Entry as there is no customs port here.
Docking
In the height of the season, it is sometimes closed to visitors, who then have to anchor outside.
Beware of the strong tidal currents when entering or leaving the narrow entrance to this harbour. This also causes whirlpools which can catch out the unwary helmsman.
Since the recent renovations, this harbour has good, modern facilities including a restaurant and a small provision store.
Many more provisions can be obtained in the village.
