Getting to the Dinghy Dock

Ferry & Docking Information

All of the GREEN space is available for customers of the Dinghy Dock to tie up during our hours of operation. Please stay clear of the RED areas.


You may notice that things are looking a little different around here! Winter storms were very hard on the pub, and we lost some dock space. The Dinghy Dock has over 300 feet of dock space for dinghies, kayaks, canoes, and other small craft, but we have limited space for larger vessels. All dock space is on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do not offer overnight moorage. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
