The three water tanks on Hilton Head Island are prominent in the approach from northward.
The entrance is between shoals that extend up to 10 miles offshore. The land on both sides of the entrance is low and marshy, and fringed by sand beaches and timbered land. The breaking shoals extending almost 10 miles off Bay Point, eastward of the entrance channel, and for about 8 miles off Hilton Head Island, are the principal dangers. Port Royal Sound Lighted Whistle Buoy P (32°05’08″N., 80°35’02″W.), marks the entrance.
