Sector light. The white sector, which is subject to change, of the light on No 11 Beacon (green triangle point up, wooden structure) at the NW end of E training wall, leads NW through Rye Bay. The light is difficult to identify against the background lighting in the harbor.
The track then leads through the harbor entrance and into Rye Harbour, passing (with position from the sector light):
NE of Western Arm (7cables SE) with a dolphin (red tripod, 9m in height), from which a light is exhibited, at its head, thence:
Between the E and W training walls (5 cables SE), forming the harbour entrance, which is initially 42 m wide but narrows to 30 m. Both training walls are covered at HW. The W training wall is about 7 cables in length and constructed of steel piling. It projects further seaward than the E training wall is marked by a light-beacon (starboard hand) and thence a number of beacons and light-beacons. It runs for 2 cables into East Pier, a stone and steel piled retaining wall marked by beacons (black triangle, point up). A road, which also covers at about half tide, runs along the top of the E training wall.

Caution. The E-going stream in Rye Bay, which forms the in-going stream into the harbor, produces an eddy NE of the W training wall which sets W to the head of East Pier before being diverted up river. It is prudent not to leave harbor at the strength of the in-going stream, but wait till it eases 1 hour before HW. The best time to enter harbor is 1 hour either side of HW.
