Lights
There are no lights for guiding visiting yachts, althought there is an old white lighthouse on a rock.
Ansteuerung
Coming from the west on Loch Carron following the coastline, keep between the 10 and 20 meter depth line. When approching the white lighthouse, the depth will be around 5 meters. Keep the lighthouse on starboard, a wooden beacon on a submerged rock on your port side. The depths will be around 6 meters (at low tide). After this passage the depth will change to more than 10 meters.
For more security and to open up the bay, sail further towards a small beacon on another rock (Bogha Dubh Sgeir).
Entry
The Plockton Rocks are small rocks, but are not submerged (see second photo below). Leave those on your port side.
Berthing
There are special visitor moorings in the bay. The only way to get to the shore is by a dinghy. Depths are around 2 meters at low tide. It is possible to anchore outside at a depth around 4 meters. Use 2 anchores for extra safety because it is a rocky ground.
