Price Bend

Location: Long Island Sound
Mile Marker: Northport Bay
Lat / Lon: N 40° 55.485' / W 073° 24.080'
Depth: 10-15 ft
Description: Wide open to the south, with holding ground that leaves much to be desired, so this is a better lunch or swimming spot than an overnight anchorage.

Anchored in 15 feet MLW east of Sand City Island. Holding is very good in sand and gravel, so long as you make sure your anchor is set. There are shallower areas (although not quite as shallow as charted) where you can use less scope. Good wind protection from the west and north, depending on where you tuck in. Exposed northeast through southwest. The beach and island are closed April through August for bird nesting but open otherwise, check city website for rules (https://www.huntingtonny.gov/hobart-preserve). Many destination moorings for small boats here, so it's probably very hectic with wakes on nice weekends, but we've found it almost peaceful during the week.

Anchored for one night in 25 ft of water. Good holding. A bit rocky with the strong sw winds but since it was so hot and humid it felt good.

Anchored just east of Sand City Island in about 15 feet with mud bottom. This is a popular spot for the local small boats to access the beach so it was crowded and noisy until dark. Also, lots of wake action until after dark when the small boats left. In
