The entrance is obstructed by shifting shoals through which are several crooked channels. The best channel extends from Tybee Roads northward between Bloody Point Range Front Light and the northwest end of the submerged breakwater 1.9 miles northeast of Tybee Light. The channel into the sound is marked by lights, a buoy, and daybeacons. In 2001, the reported controlling depth was 10 feet over the bar. Inside the bar, depths are ample.
