 Entrance channel to Porto Levante from N

 The conspicuous water tower
|
Approach is via the northern outlet of the Po di Levante river estuary Template:Coord legacy between two long training walls oriented NNW. A yacht should maintain a bearing of 240 degrees on a conspicuous water tower with two concrete ‘rings’ until into the river. Depths in the approach are around 5.0 metres but shoal to 2.5 metres or less either side of the safe channel, so entry is best be attempted on a rising tide close to high water. Once in the river depths are 4.0 - 5.0 metres. A yacht should keep in the centre of the channel, maintaining these depths (the port side of the channel is marked with a row of concrete then wooden posts). The channel curves E just after passing Marina di Albarella before turning W again towards the training walls at the entrance to the Po di Levante river itself. Do not enter the river but pass S of the training walls along the channel marked with wooden posts on port side. The entrance to the marina lies at the root of the southerly training wall.
Note: Along this stretch of the Adriatic coast tidal ranges can exceed 1.0 metre at springs, so judging the tides right can make a significant difference to safe access.
