Guide

Approach and anchoring

A white triangular day marker points the way to the harbour entrance. Inside, the narrow channel opens into two small connected basins that give good protection from almost any wind. Sand bottom.

Practical

A National Park Service dock carries about 7 ft of water and also serves the passenger ferry. The campground ashore has four shelters, with a three-night stay limit from June to Labor Day. No fuel, no shops; carry full provisions and check NPS rules before arrival.
