Beautiful spot. Stopped for a night in mid October and had the cove to ourselves. Room for lots of boats. Great holding in firm mud in 8+ feet of water. A bit of fetch at the entrance to the cove, but plenty of room deeper in or along one of the arms. Will definitely come back when passing this way again.

We had a terrible thunderstorm followed by strong winds from the north making northbound travel on the Chesapeake miserable.

We decided on this protected cove. No waves, just a little breeze, near perfect place to anchor and relax.

Room for a good dozen boats

Anchored in good holding 8ft.

Love this spot, will use it again given the opportunity

Mud is tick and good, we had wind and rain and the anchor never moved, space for lots of boats. Only 2 crab pots, very pretty. We did not have the best internet reception but we anchored by the entrance. 7 foot deep at low.

Great spot to spend a night. We stayed here during HOT weather, and chose where to anchor in the creek based on where we could get the best breeze with a minimum of fetch. Nailed it. We stayed cool and comfortable all night without bouncing all over the place or needing to run our generator. Wind was coming out of the south, so we positioned ourselves in the northern-most finger of the creek. Beautiful spot!

Came here to dodge thunderstorms and 30 kts south winds felt like 15 kts, holding is strong with 20 pds rocna. It is a detour is you are doing the loop. Almost no service from T-Mobile.

Great spot. Narrow but you can raft up 5 sailboats if you get there early. We only go spring and fall. Exposed from the S. Water blows out during/after blow from N NW but still 6’.

Nice area well protected on 3 sides. West is open but limited fetch. Anchor holdong outstanding. 7-9 in most areas of the cove. Nice spot.
