    By our standards, this is the only viable anchorage in the harbor. All others listed on the wwg are covered with mooring balls or else sit in the middle of the river with 4 knot currents and lobster boats passing on plane close by. Anchor just outside the mooring field in the harbor in 10 ft of water at low tide. Feel free to call Kittery harbor master for details-he was really helpful. At first glance, the area looks to be blanketed by lobster pots but if you are patient, you will find a space to anchor.

      Waterway Guide has delisted the anchorage at Salamander Point.
