    Came in at night, 18+ knots, and I have never seen so many boats anchored. I wanted to go down by the city dock but there was no room so I opted to squeeze in here. Not ideal wind protection but I would anchor here again. The is a beach/marsh area to run your dog. Shore access is a bit of ride.

    Stopped here for fuel and let my dog off of the boat. Great, friendly service. The marina looks great, I will stop here on my way back north in the spring!

    Great service, nice people! Easy access, nice layover location while waiting for weather to clear outside. Clean laundry and shower facilities. Short walk to waterfront restaurants (check out The Ruddy Duck)!

    Great spot, first come first serve. I draw 5', no problem bow in with port side tie up. Great location across the street from The Bean, and the Provision Company is a must see. There was a large fishing trawler nearby with lights on and generator noise, but still giving the spot 5 stars for the price and locale!

    Came in at dusk within 1 hour of low tide. Stayed on south edge of channel all the way in from the sound, depth ranged from 5 to 7 feet. Pay close attention to your buoy position coming in. Anchored between lighthouse and gazebo. I did not have time to explore the town, but I will next time.
