We called ahead by phone after reserving our mooring and a very friendly and helpful person was able to tell me exactly where our mooring was. This was great as we did notice a number of other people having a hard time finding their moorings. As others have noted there is live music on weekends right at the water's edge that you can hear clearly from the mooring field. This might bother some but we enjoyed it and it doesn't seem to go late which is great. Bristol has many good options for food and drink and is a beautiful historic New England seaside town. Enjoy!
