Tammy was super helpful. 50 amp service. No facilities. Great proximity to a great small town. Well worth a stop!

Current was tough as previously stated so be cautious outside of slack tide.

Nice protected anchorage. Good proximity to the Onslow Beach Bridge. Enjoyed watching some Marines on their small boats and side-by-sides.

Good holding and wind protection. Dinghy dock access is good. You do get "buzzed" by some smaller motorboats and jet skis but it quiets down after dark. Excellent access the Masonboro inlet.
