Plan a trip here
⚠ Access & safety: A pier and slipway are working waterside infrastructure. Keep launch routes clear, expect slippery surfaces and deep water, and reassess exposed edges in wind or swell. Offshore and wreck references in source material are not shore-navigation advice.

Published approach: The coordinate identifies the IFI Ardmore Pier feature. Slipway use, vehicle access, fishing permission, parking and edge condition have not been field-checked by Anglerfield.

Treat the pin as a planning reference, not a guaranteed parking space, legal access point or exact casting position. Confirm signs and local restrictions on arrival.

    IFI’s south-east guide and national shore-mark record describe bottom, spinning and light float presentations from Ardmore Pier. Anglerfield uses those sources only for the general method and species associations shown above. It does not reproduce historical weights or offshore wreck detail as a forecast, and this shore guide does not recommend small-boat travel.

    The named-feature pin is useful for orientation, but the safe fishing position depends on the pier’s current use, weather and local restrictions. Keep rigs compact, watch the water rather than leaving tackle unattended, and give boats and other harbour users priority. Sea trout require the appropriate State licence and current rule check before targeted fishing.

    A field review is still required before the guide can describe parking, step-free access, barriers, facilities, phone signal or a verified emergency retreat.
