We ducked in here to try to escape some southerlys. We were able to get out of the swell but the wind was still getting through. Good holding and it looks like you could get to shore at the Cole River bpat ramp. Doesn't look like much to do onshore other than a beach and the Happy Clam Bar and Grill. Another anchorage to look at if considering this one is Kickamuit River. Kickamuit anchorage may give you more protection.
