Anchor next to the expressway for a quiet night

chart/map showing anchorages

The northern end of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel has created a broad stretch of quiet water removed from the danger of big ship traffic.

Locals refer to this area as Mill Creek, but actually Mill Creek is a VERY small shallow creek beyond the fixed low level bridge to Old Point Comfort

Equipment: Don't anchor where the workboats tie up on the northeast most corner.

You can watch fireworks from here on the fourth of July.
