Nice "small" town. Slip had 10.5ft with 7.5ft least we saw coming in. Wide finger slips that come "about" 15ft out to our midships (32ft boat) so had to step over lifelines but wasn't an issue for us. Could have backed in for easier on/off. Expect to dock yourself. Power/water/pumpout available. Single clean bath house close by. Docks located right downtown next to check-in. Called on cell. Most businesses closed on Monday. Restaurants are minimal so don't expect fine dining. Example: one BBQ place was only open 11-3 on the days they were open (Tue-Sun). Advertisement for eateries is not readily available. More eating places are "in the works" but they could not give dates. Free town wifi but did not reach our slip, had to be in office. Library few blocks away for rainy day wifi but we did not test it. Overall nice and friendly place if you like the simple life. Part of the Albermarle loop so first 2 nights dockage are free. Worth the stop for quiet free dockage but, if eating out is your thing, don't expect much.
