Guide
Approach and anchoring
Reached from Hampton Roads through the local creek system. Mud bottom gives good holding. Shelter is from the SW through SE, with the anchorage open to the north and east, so a fair-weather choice or a stop for moderate southerly winds.
Practical
Fresh water is available ashore. Marina Cove Boat Basin lies 0.6 nm to the SW on Harris Creek Road, with toilets, showers and a yard. Dandy Haven Marina is 0.7 nm to the SE. The wider Hampton waterfront, with shops and chandlery, is a short run away.
