    We stayed here after a long day running up Chesapeake Bay and before running down Delaware Bay. We can't vouch for ease of getting ashore because we didn't try, but it seemed as though there were plenty of opportunities around nearby marinas. This spot gets you out of the action on the Delaware and gives plenty of protection from wind and wave action. Preferred, if we have time to make it before stopping for the day is the anchorage on the Cohansey River to the south or Chesapeake City, MD off the canal, but this will always do in a pinch.
