    Jim waved us down to identify our slip as we pulled in. Very helpful with lines and plugging in shore power. Floating docks in good condition and the harbor in Solomons is protected. We ate at the on-site restaurant La Vela and for a marina restaurant, it was excellent. Easy walking distance to other restaurants. They have a dog run and seem to be very dog friendly. Enjoyed the Safe Harbor membership free stay.

    There were several boats anchored directly across from the horse farm so we went around Purdy Point to our starboard and tucked in just across from Gibson Island Boat Works. We draw 3' 6" which allowed us to anchor in this shallow cove. We were able to walk our dog on a small beach on the south side of Purdy Point. Beautiful sunrise over the mooring field.

    Anchored in the first open cove to the right as you enter the creek and we had that little cove to ourselves. 6 boats rafted up farther up the creek so plenty of room. 2 catamarans anchored up the creek past the rafters. Well protected from wakes / wind although the creek would be open to winds coming from the Southwest. There are some undeveloped access ramps to Wye Island on the west side of the creek - gravel / grass landings. We paddled there to let our dog do her business and walked around beautiful Wye Island.

    Enjoyed this cove more than anticipated. Well protected from wakes since there is a 6 knot limit around the bridge and marinas.
