Anchorage Review for Harbor Island

Go ashore on Harbor Island at the beach south of the pier and house. Keep to the shorelines and no fires above high tide line. Better to enter at half tide or less in order to see the ledges. We anchored fairly deep in the space and had 20' at MLW. Any deeper and we would have swung to close to ledges.

Anchor south of power lines. Dinghy to dock by boat ramp immediately to north, walk to village. See Harry The Potter, ice cream on the corner, and donuts from Sugar Shack. Yum!
