Stayed here for two nights. Drug the first night when a front came through with gusts over 30. Held well in the second spot with a full day and night of 15+ N winds. Well protected spot. No shore access. Channel coming in gets shallow but good depths inside. Saw a low of 7' coming in favoring the port side. Anchored in 12'

The holding here was terrible. We drug 4 times. I have no idea why it’s called “Hurricane harbor “ unless it’s because you’re fully exposed. The harbor is loud on the weekends and crowded. Will not be back.

Good spot for inclement weather because it's very sheltered. Favor the port side as you come in - starboard side of channel shoals to 4' at low tide.
