Anchored in 10 feet of water at low tide. Good holding. Exposed to north wind but it was light so not bad. Wakes from passing traffic also wasn't too bad. Good spot to wait for a good tide to pass through the city.

This is a great little anchorage in SE, S, SW, W, and maybe even NW wind but N, NE, E wouldn't be great. Surprisingly the wakes are not bad at all, noise level is fine even though the bridge is close, and the view of the bridges at night is nice. Holding was good and we were the only ones here. Current wasn't a problem at all - probably because you are out of the channel. Anchor dug in right away and we slept like babies in moderate S/SW winds. There is a small beach area exposed at low water just on the inside of the break water in the SE corner of the bay and there is a dock but that is part of an old army base; it looks like there is an NYPD station there now. Next to the sandy beach is parking for the park so I suppose you could bring your dog in there. It seems to be serviced by a bus. There is also an NYFD training area, and EMS outpost, and Army Reserve just south of the Fort Totten Visitor Center
