This is a local favorite for weekend and holiday outings. Feel your way in near flashing red daybeacon 86 below the islet blocking the entrance (submerged at high tide), then proceed a short distance to a suitable spot in 15 to 20 feet with a sandy bottom. Proceeding seaward, this winding creek widens into Price Inlet.

We stopped here with 15-20 kts out of the east, we had no issues with holding, (45# Mantus, all chain) there was one other boat there, it looks like it is on the way to become a derelict. Maybe.

I dropped the hook at the mouth of the river in the 20 foot water. Holding is excellent, muddy oysters. This is best for fair weather anchorage.

We couldn't get into any Charleston marinas for the night so stopped here. Fairly narrow river with very strong current. Our swing had to have been close to the radius of the creek. No good place for the dog, the shores are made up of oyster shells and our dog was not pleased. I would not have wanted to be in this anchorage with any other boats. Since we were alone it worked out. Anchor set easily and held well although my anchor alarm went off with both tide changes.

We tried twice to make this anchorage work, but neither time did we feel good enough that we wouldn't end up on the shore during low tide because the creek anchorage was too narrow for us. This may be a good "Option B" anchorage to have as a back-up anchorage, but with a 4:1 scope (80' for us), we might have swung way too close to the edges of the shoreline to feel at ease without sleeping with one eye on the anchor alarm app.

The area was beautiful and we tried twice to anchor in the exact middle to make this spot work. But unfortunately, we decided to keep going and see what else we could find.

We don't have pets, but this area has no access to shore to walk a pet. T-Mobile cell service was 3-bars 5G.
