Used this anchorage on 6 September 2021. Had spent the previous night at an open anchorage in Horn Harbor. Good anchorage, had 6-7 feet, centered in creek just past Dare Marina & Sea RR. Anchor held first time, came up next day with some mud but not excessive. Dare marina is available for dinghy docks, did not ask if there was a charge. It was a very windy day 6 September on Chesapeake Bay so we wanted quiet & less rocking. Locals very friendly, homeowner came by on jet ski invited us to see fireworks on another creek. Limited boat traffic, watermen & day boats but all courteous.

Better holding and wind protection here, just up the creek from Dare Marina and Smith's Marine Railway. Good depth for deeper draft vessels. Much less boat traffic than in the wider sections of the creek.
