    Usually Quiet

    Restrictions

    Access is via public roads within the harbour area; care is required around active working zones.

    Photography Notes

    The harbour reads through the grouping of boats and structures along the waterfront, with position controlling how these elements align within the frame and how the surrounding terrain balances against them.
