A sheltered working pier with a small south-facing entrance, muddy bottom, and a
Trabaan Pier is a sheltered working pier accessed through a small south-facing mouth between boulder walls. Inside the pier area the bottom is mostly muddy, with a small firmer patch near the top end that suits skill practice with less silt disturbance. The site is generally shallow but becomes a little deeper on spring tides, so tide timing matters. As an active pier, plan dives with awareness of local activity.
