There were several boats anchored directly across from the horse farm so we went around Purdy Point to our starboard and tucked in just across from Gibson Island Boat Works. We draw 3' 6" which allowed us to anchor in this shallow cove. We were able to walk our dog on a small beach on the south side of Purdy Point. Beautiful sunrise over the mooring field.

Nice anchorage surrounded by woods and across from a beautiful horse farm. A popular location but with sufficient room to hold a large number of boats. On occasion water skiers will come through but most other boats pass the location slowly and there is little wake. A small beach on the Western side of the cove provides access for walking a dog.
