We were looking for some shelter from a southerly, and this did the job. We anchored out at the entrance to the little inlet. It was about 10' with good mud for holding. Great sunsets.

I agree with the review by Andre E. The entrance is not simple but a close lookout at the daymarks and electronic iPad charts will get you through.
It is difficult to sail through this entrance; use power.
I use this anchorage regularly and rarely see more than one other boat here. It is a good departure spot for a slow boat run down the Bay to Solomons, the Little Choptank or the Potomac and an excellent storm anchorage.

Follow the chart. Keep Green #1 30-40 yards to port, then aim for Green #3 just to port to go between Green #3 and Red #4 that are almost vertically aligned. I came in at mid tide and lowest depth by Red #4 was 5'11" and that was very briefly. Inside found 10-11' water with good holding and barely any boat traffic. We had 6 boats rafted together and had no issues at all. Love the spot.

Tricky entrance 1st time negotiated - 6' min at mid-tide. Room for several boats with excellent protection. Very attractive creek with scattered relatively modest homes. Nearby county landing for pets, etc.. Few local boats. Unable to accurately assess holding.
