If heading up the River Bandon towards Castle Park Marina, pay particular attention to the tides as they are very strong, which can make berthing quite difficult especially in busy times of the year. The channel coming into the harbour is well marked, wuth mooring bouys to Port as you round the headland. Visitor Bouys are yellow and can be found up river towards the bridge.
