- Description:
This anchorage is somewhat narrow for larger vessels. Enter as if heading to the marina, favoring the red side of the channel, as there is only 6 feet at MLW near green daybeacon 1. Then anchor in a minimum of 7 feet of water past the marina. Anchored boats pay a fee to dock dinghies at the marina. Or, you can anchor closer to the public boat ramp before the marina and dinghy ashore there.
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.
