Service Description: Newport Harbour is a small leisure harbour situated at the navigable head of the River Medina, some 5 miles south from the port of Cowes. The harbour is close to the centre of Newport, County Town of the Isle of Wight, and as you would expect a broad range of facilities are available nearby including shops, chemists and restaurants. The harbour dries out completely at low water. Public transport is readily available to other parts of the island, making Newport Harbour an ideal destination for the sailing family. The harbour staff are committed to running a safe and friendly harbour for visiting boats and crew.

Answer: When sailing towards Newport Harbour from Cowes, a beacon at the Folly displays a rapid flashing green light. This is located 1.5 cables south of the Folly Inn Point at the end of the row of yacht moorings. Moving south, two pairs of fixed green lights are located on the west bank, at the northern and southern ends of the Cement Mills site. At Dodnor, a further pair of fixed green lights mark the end of a small jetty extending from the west bank. Shallow points upstream are marked by red buoys (7No.) on the port side and green buoys (3No.) on the starboard. On the east bank, the approach to Newport Harbour is identified by large white beacons with pairs of horizontal red lights showing at night. When lined up, these beacons bear a course of 192deg T and show the approach channel to the harbour.
