Use of car lights when approaching the breakwaters

Motorists travelling to the Blaketown or Cobden breakwaters at night are asked to dip their headlights and switch them off once at the breakwaters. The headlights dazzle incoming vessel skippers and reduce their ability to identify the navigation lights when entering the port.
