Anchor came up slick mud but holding great. Need good washdown. Anchored in front/side of boat ramp leaving enough room. tied dinghy up in shallow west side of ramp. has bathrooms (daytime). Took bikes for ride around town. Too early in season for everything to be open but enough to eat out. Went to Linton's seafood (2miles) for the best flounder sandwich. Also try the Smith Island cake almost any restaurant. Takes a long time to get here but nice place. If you have time, suggest taking ferry to Tangier Island. The docks there are not good for sailboats. See review there for details.

Tucked away in the island is this large marina. There is a small channel, which was hard to find, to enter the dock area. The marina folks were extremely friendly and helpful. We were even given a slice each of Smith Island Cake when we checked in! Laundry is available. The shower and bathroom facilities were a 10! The did have a pool, but we were early in the season, so it wasn't open yet. Walking distance to groceries, town, Smith Island Bakers! Fuel and pump out were available.

Fantastic in every way. Protected harbor. Nice floating docks for transients. Excellent customer service. Terrific amenities. The director Tom took time to give us a ride around town with a brief history of the area. So nice! We were there at the end of the season (11/8) waiting out weather before heading south. Being the end of the season most things in town are closed or open limited days. But Crisfield is worth the stop.

Anchorage has room for 3-4 boats, in the NW corner of the very protected cove. Not particularly scenic, except for the "flavor" of a fishing village. Dinghy to the marina for $10, which includes marina facilities access, except for pool. 1-2 mile walk to shopping. Marina staff very helpful.
