DescriptionSet between Wickets Island and Onset Island and outside the mooring field, this anchorage offers good holding in mud.

Very convenient location to rest the "crew" after crossing the canal or before doing so. Good holding. Not too crowded across two weeks that we went east and then west. The dinghy ride to the town pier is a bit of a ride but distance wide is not too different from Provincetown, Vineyard haven or various other anchorages in the region. Wickets island can be explored although not much to see just a panoramic view of the anchorage and the beach. The channel to get in and out is pretty narrow don't get distracted we saw a boat grounded at low tide cause it went a bit too far. Harbormaster office responded to my calls to ask for information about the anchorage so grateful for that. Definitively will likely use it again in the future

Brandon, the Dock Master, helped us land our 34ft sailboat with an opposing wind. After fueling up, watering up and pumping out, we decided to stay in a slip for a few nights to wait out the upcoming storm. Again Brandon assisted us docking into the slip, and tiring our lines for the expected blow. Thank you for wonderful service!! Also the marina facilities are top notch and very clean. We will be back next year.
