Navesink River

Location: Sandy Hook Bay Highlands
Lat / Lon: N 40° 23.040' / W 073° 59.400'
Depth: 4-10 ft
Description:
Just past Upper Rocky Point, turn to starboard, and head back east up the old channel of the Navesink River. Make the turn well to the west of red nun buoy 10 to clear the shoal, then favor the north shore. You can stop in 4 to 10-foot deep water under a high bluff. A small island protects you from wakes without stopping the breeze. If you plan to swim, trail a line overboard. The current is strong at maximum flood and ebb. Cell signal available.

Be careful on both sides of the anchorage to give yourself room when the tide changes. The current swings the boat in the opposite direction, the boat could easily swing over shallow water. The transition distance from safely anchoring in 10/13 feet to basically zero at low tide is very short.
