    We loved this anchorage for its pristine beauty and long stretches of sugar sand beach walks. Easy dinghy to the restaurant or shore but not much more within walking distance. Be cautious on arrival for depths and shoaling.

  • Marina Review for Dog River Marina and Boat Works Inc.

    Beware the narrow channel entrance and the not clearly marked leaning piling at the entrance. It was hit by a boat I'm told, not repaired and lies at 45 degrees to the water with no reflective surface. If you don’t see it and cut inside, you will go aground as we did. We only stopped here to pick up oil so cannot fully review the facility. The staff that assisted us were friendly and the owner arranged to have us pulled off the bar within the hour.
