Awesome little harbor. We anchored here as I was cautious about taking the big boat into Otter Creek.

It didn't really have a pet landing area per se but there was a patch of grass across the harbor, north east side.

The problem I didn't like was pulling all the weeds off my anchor chain. They pulled easily but expect to spend 20 minutes pulling them off as you hoist the chain up. I was then afraid I was going to suck them in my engine intakes.

There is a covered shoal that comes out 150' or more from the south point, stay in the middle of the channel entering this bay. We ran up on the rocks entering this bay looking for an anchorage. No pet access from this bay either.
