Anchorage Review for Old Harbor - Block Island

Reviewed by: Jamie E Allstrom on Jan 30, 2020
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 27'
Draft: 4.5'

it is a really cool anchorage that is truly unique with its steep drop off, thus alowing you to beach your boat of any variety, including sailboat with a 8ft draft. At low tide the first foot of the bow is high and dry, meanwhile 5 feet aft you are in at least 8ft of water. The cool thing is walking from the breakwater wall right onto your boat.
During the hi-session this anchorage gets quite crowded. but during the off season it is quiet and so convenient. I would highly recommend this if you have a way to get on your boat from the bow,
