We moved here from Jamestown anchorage to escape 36knt SW winds. Tucked in on the downriver side from ferry dock. Two ferry boats run 24/7 with ferry Pocahontas putting out a massive wake. If you enjoy ocean swell, you will love this. Possible to beach tender ashore. There are a few houses. Holding was very good. That said, wind switched over night to NW which with a low outgoing tide made life uncomfortable with beam chop, so we moved to the only sheltered section we could find at the east end of the Jamestown island. Very good holding, calm, scenic and serene...just not a waterways anchorage, so can't leave a review. It would be a good one!
