Visited in April/ 2024 in our 43foot motor yacht and anchored off The Heugh. Anchor set first time and we stayed a few days in this stunning location. Landing was not always easy:- at low water, the beach in the "Ouse" has thick mud extending a way out whilst the slipway is almost unusable in any sea. In HW or in calm conditions, landing is very easy. There is a fresh water tap in the boatyard at the base of the pier. As described above, at HW in south-westerly winds, the anchorage is uncomfortable. Indeed, the motion of our boat (inc some violent fish-tailing) broke the set of our anchor and we started dragging onto the lee shore of the Heugh.

No changes

I reviewed these notes in May 2021. Thanks to Peter Fall below for his comments; I have no changes. I've added Peter Fall's advice on Newton Haven in the Further Berthing Info but can offer no local knowledge on the approach.

Apart from changing the charts and the addition of a photograph of the nav marks at Guile Point no changes were made.

Toured this area in early August and no need for changes.
An anchorage not covered is Newton Haven. It's certainly worth a visit if the tide and weather are right. Only disadvantage is the pub/restaurant is often fully booked so beer only and a bag of crisps
