The harbour comprises all the tidal waters lying N of the breakwaters constructed across the mouth of the bay and the navigable portions of West River, on the W side of the bay, and Mill River and Quinnipiac River, at the head of the bay.

PORTS: The port uses the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System, which integrates real-time environmental observations, forecasts and other geospatial information. It measures and disseminates observations and predictions of water levels, currents, salinity, and meteorological parameters (e.g., winds, atmospheric pressure, air and water temperatures) that mariners need to navigate safely. The prominent objects in the vicinity include the Breakwater Lighthouse and light beacons; the white disused tower attached to a red dwelling on Lighthouse Point; a large gasometer (tank) on the W side of the entrance to Mill river, 3.5nm N of Lighthouse Point.

Mean spring range 2m, mean neap range 1m.

Tugs are available. Vessels normally proceed into the harbour without assistance. Large vessels normally require tugs for docking and undocking. Arrangements for tug service should be made 24 hours in advance usually through the ship's agent.
