Thorney Island Beach Photo

Mouth of Thorney Channel

The two poles show boats the safe passage through into Thorney Channel. When entering the channel one must keep the red marker to port (left) and the green to starboard (right). A sand bank is well in evidence in front of them at this low tide, this bank would be covered (and therefore more hazardous) at higher tides. A final row of wooden stakes from the unsuccessful dam project can be seen running inland from the port marker. (see description below)
