The Mersey Bluff light (Gp Fl 4, 20 sec) provides good guidance approaching Devonport.  It has red sectors which define danger areas to the west and east.  In particular, the eastern red sector provides warning of the Horseshoe Reef area which lies 2.5 nm to the east of the Mersey River.  On approaching the river mouth, the leads bear 204 degrees.  There are lit port and starboard markers defining the channel once in the river.
