    Great location with new aluminum docks. Convenience store a short walk. As others have stated signage says no overnight but spoke with locals and local police and they've stated that there's normally no issues with staying a night as long as no one is making any disturbances. Would highly recommend this place and the town.

    Nice location but floating dock no longer connected to north pier. No signage at other locations about limits. North pier is in bad shape. Use with caution.

    Great free dock but watch for strong current. Only shoal draft vessels should use this dock as low tide only less than 4' here. Water taxi's have their own dock just next to longer floating dock.

    Great amenities all within walking distance. Security always walking around. Asked about staying overnight since I got there just before sunset and they weren't too worried about it as long as I didn't make any noise. The nightlife there was very interesting to say

    Very courteous bridge operator, he even held it open long enough for 2 other boaters behind me to catch up and get through.

    Great location and good holding in 30 knt winds. Lots of military training during the day and into the evening with Ospreys flying overhead.

    Nice place with amenities close by. No flooding of docks at high tide. Get ready for the 5:30 am horn blast from the ferry. Makes for an unwelcomed wake up call.

    Make sure your anchor is well set. Strong winds and current made a few boats drag.

    A little rocky from the ferry going by but peaceful at night.
