    We anchored close to the channel on a weekend. There were lots of wakes, activity and noisy boats through the night. We went to town dingy dock for provisions. On the way back we were informed that the police had been there earlier, a Zodiac motor had been stolen, even-though it had been locked on the dink. Lots of great restaurants to choose from.

    We anchored here around the perimeter early December 2021 with 15-20 other boats. We are 45' Catamaran. We stayed over a week and swung into the channel at times, no one bothered us. Holding was strong. Used the Southport Raw Bar dingy dock for provisioning and meals many times, restaurant was dog friendly. Used the town dock for water replenishment and garbage disposal. Gas, ice and meals at 15th street Fisheries. Great views, food & drink, also dog friendly. Other day boaters filled the anchorage over weekend

    Anchored in Masonboro inlet at 8pm. Found the buoys were accurate, but one red was not lit entering the inlet.
    We anchored our 45' catamaran comfortably across from the coast guard station in 13 feet of water, towards the inlet side of the harbor.
    Other cats were seen anchored on the north side of the harbor, being that we came in at night we did not venture further until morning.
    An easy gas at Seapath Yacht club and friendly staff.
