Pelican Bay – Park Service Docks Anchorage (Statute Mile 25)
Pelican Bay offers several enticing anchorages, of which the “Park Service Docks Anchorage” is but one. Follow the various links below to check out others. Note Captain Rogner’s quite correct warning about entrance depths at low water. The least we’ve seen here is 4 1/2 feet, but I’m sure 4-foot depths are possible.
I’ve anchored here several times. Only issue is with strong winds out of the N to NE. It can get quite choppy inside. Otherwise, it’s tranquil and near perfect. When entering you’ll need to almost drive onto the beach to stay off the ground. I’ve hit in a boat drawing 4 feet, but was able to easily back off.
