A Warning from the Navigation Officer
The Glan Teifi bends are unnavigable, except at very high water, due to sand build up.

7 March 2017
By the end of this month the Navigation Officer will have placed new posts to mark the navigable channel .

MAY 2016
Fishermen have placed a Dan-buoy and Port and Starboard markers on the Bar to mark the channel.  These are not official marks and it is the responsibility of the individual skipper if they choose to follow them.

Channel Markers have been reinstated after maintenance.  There are ten buoys between Pwll Sama and Glan Teifi.
