If your draft is less than 2 metres and your LOA is less than 11 metres and you are prepared to take
the ground, why not visit the busy little market town of Kingsbridge at the head of the estuary.
Kingsbridge creek is navigable 2 and a half hours either side of high water as the basin dries out at
low water. Follow the channel north of the Saltstone which is marked by red and white Port Hand
marker poles with red can top marks. 6 cables north of the Saltstone a secondary channel, marked
by Port Hand buoys leads you eastward to Bowcombe Creek. The main channel to Kingsbridge
continues on and veers off gradually to the west.

As you enter Kingsbridge you will be rewarded with a vibrant market town and access to a number of
facilities including a supermarket, quayside leisure centre where showers are available, cinema,
tourist information centre and a wide range of shops. Street markets take place on Tuesdays and
Thursdays and a local Farmers Market takes place on the Quay on the first Saturday of each month.

Visiting vessels can use the visitor’s part of the pontoon (the outward side of the seaward end) and
part of the wall on the car park side.

Kingsbridge also offers a quay with a launching slipway adjacent to the large car park. Vessels up to
1.5 metres draft can be slipped dependent on the tide.
