Approach and Entrance - Brighton Marina is fortunate in having no off-lying dangers in the way of sand or rocks. The approach is therefore straightforward. By day, the Marina is not difficult to identify, being located at the eastern end of the town at a point where the White Cliffs and Brighton seafront meet. A conspicuous white apartment block lies on the cliff road above the Marina. At night, the breakwater lights can be lost in the general background lighting, although a high intensity lamp fitted to the sector Light (GP F1 W&R4 every 20 secs.) with a range of 10 miles has greatly improved this. There are several racing buoys located off the Marina. The closest, a yellow spar buoy (F1.Y.4 sec.), is stationed two cables south of the harbour entrance. The sewer outfall off Portobello (F1.Y.5 sec.) is the only other lit buoy in the immediate area. However, a good look-out should be kept for unlit fishing buoys and markers which may be laid up to half a mile offshore. The two Brighton piers carry fixed red lights. The facility can be entered in all states of tide.
