Anchorage Review for New Point Comfort Lighthouse

Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 27'
Draft: 3.5'

August 2025 and my first anchorage at New Point Comfort. I drifted in as close as I felt comfortable. The bottom was sandy and water. I hand-pulled my boat as close as I could get just until my wing keel touched the sand. We were just after low tide. I managed to get about 150 yards from the beach so the walk in wasn't bad. (No dinghy yet.)

There were lots of small power boats pulled near the shore and a few larger sailboats farther out than I was.

The beach is very nice. Not crazy wide but it's the west bank of the Chesapeake. It's a great spot to hang out and enjoy.
