- Description: Known locally as the "Swimming Hole" this is popular day anchorage. Some boats do stay over night. Open to cooling breeze but but it can be rolly. Verizon signal is strong. Some boat wakes. The beach at the foot of the cliffs is private but pet convenience landings are common. Note the beach is very shallow and you may have to walk the dinghy in the last 100-200 feet.
DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
