Protected calm anchorage. Good holding. Not much other than boat yards and a few houses to look at. Some respectful boat traffic. No restaurants or easy shore access. More of a working boat yard vibe. No bugs although we picked up a bunch of mosquitoes and others on the way down from St Mary's. The Chesapeake was mirror lake on the trip down.

There are not a lot of spots in Broad Creek...but it's a great little anchorage. Lots of marinas and boatyards around. Traffic is slow, so no wakes. No real wind issues, but usually a breeze when you need it. No bug issues. Plenty of places to walk the doggies ashore. Verizon is the cell service of choice. AT&T is OK, too. If you ask nicely, some of the marinas will give you their password for wifi (buy some fuel or visit with the dockmaster). There's a shuttle bus in the summer months (2016) that will take you to town for provisions. Marinas aren't too picky about you tying up your dinghy. Of course! It's Deltaville.
