    We anchored here twice in July and August. Watch for oyster cages on tall, brown stakes in the anchorage area. There is a park and public dock managed by the Mathews Land Conservancy and it is fine to tie dinghies up to the floating dock and get pets ashore. Tim and Linda with the Land Conservancy are very nice and welcoming. The docks are used for crew rowing teams and you may get to watch them practicing.

    Anchored here for 2 nights. Several boats around but plenty of room. Kiley, Jim and Joe at Fishing Bay Marina were very nice. We took advantage of their full-facility access for $20 per day. The marina wifi reaches into the bay. Very pet friendly. There were several other dogs at the marina.

    Excellent small marina with great staff and facilities. Very good wifi. Easy walk to restaurants. We were there midweek and I suspect it is full on weekends as the town caters to weekend tourist traffic.

    Excellent. Echo previous comments on leaving the fish traps to port on entrance, plenty of water. Waited out thunderstorms with wind with no problems. Max the dog loved the beach!
