Quiet tidal creek anchorage on the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia, off the Chesapeake Bay.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Once inside, the creek gives shelter from every direction over a mud bottom with good holding. The marsh-lined banks and shoaling at the mouth call for a careful approach on rising water with a close eye on the sounder.
Practical
No facilities at the anchorage and no services within easy reach. Deep Creek Marine lies about 18.4 nautical miles south-west and Onancock Wharf and Marina about 20.4 nautical miles south-west, so carry full provisions, water and fuel aboard.
