Beautiful cove with great views; most of the shoreline is marked "private property;" plenty of room and depth for multiple vessels, but gets quite crowded early Friday afternoon through the weekend!

9-18-19 spent a great night in this lovely anchorage. Well marked entrance. Many 6 MPH speed white buoys. Crab pots are out of the channel and no problem. Some wake boarding boats and water skiers on occasion. Crabbers are running trout lines on inside perimeter close to shore. . 3 small sailboats on moorings. Chief Engr Bob onboard ALLEZ!
