Detailed answer
Transient vessels approaching ABYC from Lake Ontario via the Outer Harbour should follow the marked channel. The entrance lies east of Woodbine Beach breakwall, with red port-hand and green starboard-hand buoys guiding the way. Shoaling occurs near the harbour mouth; consult Canadian Hydrographic Service chart 2024 and monitor depth sounders closely, especially after easterly winds.
