The entrance channel is 10 feet deep in the center at low tide. There are strong currents at tidal changes and heavy traffic. The central harbor provides good anchorage on a mud bottom. There is not an abundance of moorage - much of it is used by commercial fishing boats. The visitor may be able to find available permanent space that is free on a per-night basis.
Some restaurants have floats for use by their patrons.
Transient moorage can also be found at the south side marinas. A launch ramp is located at the end of Randall road. Visit the Peninsula Historical Museum, open Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from noon to four p.m. Several marinas can be found on the south shore of the harbor with transient moorage and a wide variety of supplies. The Farmer's Market is a fine spot for re provisioning the galley. Open May through October on Saturdays.
