Morehead City - Sugar Loaf Island
- Location: Morehead City
- Mile Marker: Mile 205.1
- Lat / Lon: N 34° 43.083' / W 076° 42.783'
- Depth: 7-8 Feet
- Description:
Swing room is limited but anchoring is possible in the lee of Sugar Loaf Island in 7 to 8 feet MLW (despite the 3.5 feet designated on the chart). Note that high-speed reversing tidal currents rip through this area. Several vessels appear to be permanently anchored fore-and-aft, decreasing the amount of space available and requiring some careful consideration of placement in order to remain distant from the non-swinging boats.
