    Nearly all areas of Long Cove can be used for anchoring. There are a few scattered moorings in the SW and SE corners to avoid and some workboat moorings along the western shore. Other than that, pick your spot based on wind conditions. Holding is very good in gravel and mud.

    High Island is an MCHT site with a nice hiking trail circling the island and a few group camping sites. It makes a great place to stretch your legs and walk the dog.

    The dinghy ride into Tenants Harbor isn't too long, even with a slow dinghy. Fuel is available at the boatyard, and you can walk to the stores and restaurants.
