This is a great stop.
Lady B's Bistro is some of the best Italian we've had.
Liquor, grocery, hardware, and laundry all a short walk from the wall or the marina.

Really great stop. Quiet night. One nice house on the east side. Dropped anchor at the house and let out 80' of chain. Stuck straight away in weeds with mud. Lots of weeds on the chain the next morning but easy to clean. Highly recommend!

What a great little cove! 24 mph wind gusts from NE and boat hardly moved.

Got us in to a slip for some emergency repairs. Mechanic was wonderful, all the staff was amazing. Stayed 3 nights and the 2nd day they must have launched 30 boats. Would highly recommend. We were just passing through.

Called for 2 days, left messages no return calls.
Finally got through and scheduled an 8am fuel fill. Arrived at 8:02. No answer via phone or hail on the radio. Luckily we had enough fuel to leave without any fuel.
Looked like a nice marina just no customer service.

Great spot to wait out a storm or winds. Spent 3 days waiting for wind to die down. Easy dingy ride to the many marinas. Anchor came up covered in blue mud. We had up to 30mph winds and never moved.
AGLCA harbor host lives close by and took a photo of our boat which was nice.

Very nice and huge area. Great holding. View of the bridge and to the south. Sailing club was out and I lost count of the number of sailboats to the south. We stayed south and west of the anchor on the map. 15' dropped anchor and it stuck great. 25' of chain and another 25' with the bridle.

Good price on fuel dock hands were nice but they charge $25 + Tax to top off your water tank which we had to have. We were planning on 3 nights at anchor just around the corner waiting for bad weather to pass.
Just a pain in the butt to go elsewhere just for water. I did say we needed some water before we arrived and it's my fault that I didn't ask the price.
Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Great bridge tender! Be sure to have your vessel number ready. He also lets you know if there is shoaling. If heading North stay between the navigation area aids, a boat went outside to the port and grounded.
