Coles Point

Location: Potomac River
Lat / Lon: N 38° 08.664' / W 076° 36.632'
Depth: 10 +
Tide: 2 feet
Description:
Nice wide bay with 10-15' depths and good holding. Very scenic with good protection from the SW to NW to N only. Good shore access at Cole's Pt Marina (Oasis). Tim's restaurant is currently open a limited schedule since Covid but is hoping to come back. Close enough to dinghy to Cole's Point Tavern but they too are still recovering from Covid. Visiting Blackbeards lake is possible by dinghy mostly at high tide but the entrance is shallow.

Easy holding, first try, however there were too many crab pots to get anywhere near the shore or 10ft. Depth. Had to anchor in 13ft with no wind protection for the night. Rocky and rough all night. Marina is nice and friendly, no restaurant left as of 2024 but a small shop for their campground. Showers and bathrooms. Pet friendly if you dinghy into the Marina, decent cell service in Bay.

Initially planned to go to the Marina (separate review) but a t-storm kicked up and we opted to wait it out and once calm dropped anchor. A lovely spot, good hold in mud, roomy.
