Please note that in the Net’s “Georiga Anchorage Directory,” we term the anchorage Captain Arnold discusses below as the “Dungeness – Greyfield Channel Anchorage.” Whatever you call it, cruisers can drop the hook abeam of the piers which have long been known as the “Sea Camp Dock,” dinghy ashore, and experience one of the most beautiful, not to mention historic, barrier islands in the Southeast!
A GPS chart plotter is ever so helpful in running the largely unmarked channel from the Waterway’s passage through Cumberland Sound, to this anchorage.

Across Cumberland Sound – dodging the odd nuclear submarine – there’s a great mooring on the Western side of Cumberland Island. You can dinghy to the second dock up and walk not a quarter mile to a most beautiful pristine beach on the Atlantic side. A walk also to the ruins of Dungeness is worthwile and easy to take pics of the wild horses there. They don’t seem all that wild to me – everytime I see ’em they’re quietly grazing just like ordinary horses. I suspect a marketing come on…… In north or south winds combined with fairly strong current, the bottom does tend to be slippy – so put out plenty of rode and maybe even two anchors if blustery.
