Atlantic Highlands - Municipal Harbor

• Location: Sandy Hook Bay
• Lat / Lon: N 40° 25.100' / W 074° 01.200'
• Depth: 8-10 ft
• Description:

  There is usually plenty of anchorage room just inside the eastern end of the Atlantic Highlands breakwater and outside the mooring field or on the south side of the eastern end of the mooring field along the shore. Depths are 8 feet to 10 feet but 4 to 5 feet close to shore. This area is quite a distance to shoreside facilities, but there are ample dinghy landings: A dock is located immediately to the east of the harbormaster's office and floats are at the head of each aisle past the fuel dock. Unlimited Atlantic Highlands launch service is extended to anchored boats. Cell signal available.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
