Guide

Approach and anchoring

Whitehall Creek opens off Whitehall Bay and gives all-round shelter once inside, with a sand bottom that holds an anchor well. Whitehall Marina sits at the head of the creek and Orchard Beach Marina lies 1.5 miles to the west.

Practical

Whitehall Marina, at the creek, keeps deep-water berths with shore power and water and has heads and showers. Orchard Beach Marina, 1.5 miles W, is a further option for moorage and fuel. Annapolis lies a short run to the south for full provisioning.
