- Description:
The anchorage is not shown on any chart, the charted depths are wrong. Drop your anchor on top of the anchor mark and you will have at least 7 MLLW in depth at least 120 feet in all directions. The nearby public dinghy dock is perfect for taking your dog to shore or just for getting out and stretching your legs.
There is no fetch in any direction, you will be calm at night and swing with the current. It's a great place to wait out bad weather.
