## Quick answer

Line up the Woodbine Beach lifeguard station with the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant chimney.

## Detailed answer

This alignment keeps you in 4-6 metres depth, clear of the submerged breakwall extension. The chimney is visible above fog layers. Monitor VHF 16 for freighter traffic from the Eastern Gap before committing to anchor.
