Never cut across the Outer Harbour entrance where freighters enter. The Spit is 3.5 km east; watch for shallow reefs near the lighthouse.","related_ids":[],"intent_tags":["visitor-guide","navigation","safety","tommy-thompson-park","leslie-street-spit"],"last_verified":"2026-05-24","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-visitor-guide-leslie-street-spit-navigation-post-launch","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-visitor-guide-leslie-street-spit-navigation-post-launch?format=md&lang=en"}
