Great for a short stop. Close to shopping but the anchorage is rolly with the boat wakes from the main channel. Not very good wind protection and the holding is not the best with lots of weeds. Kings Wharf Theatre is located on shore.

Good for a little stop. Weeds but no trouble cleaning off. Not far to dinghy to town dock. Quiet. We were at the southern end of the anchorage area and found a fair bit of wake action from boats out in the main channel. Not a trouble but more than we expected.
