Small harbor with room for about 3 boats to anchor. No protection from the south which made for a rolly anchorage. No public dinghy dock in the marina though a local said you could probably talk to manager of the marina about tying up behind the fuel dock. Town was a 15-20 minute walk uphill though once in town there were a number of restaurants and other stores. There was shore access on the north east side at the 5 islands park where you could probably grab an Uber from if you don't want to walk into town. It's a very small harbor mostly serving the local marina which has a tight fuel dock that gets very busy on the weekend. Not recommend for larger boats.
