Beach Etiquette
Would it be frowned upon if I were to anchor my pontoon boat outside of the buoys at Carry Beach and then take the family ashore on a 3 person inflatable raft (no motor)?
Thanks! |

Anchoring
It's a public beach, but if you want to row over the swim lines, I think that's not allowed. The phone is 569-5639. Let us know what you learn.
If anchoring "outside the buoys", you don't want to hinder navigation. |

There are places either side of the swim line where you can bring in an inflatable raft. Anchoring off the beach is not a problem as long as you know where the rocks are in the area.

Where to Anchor?
Quote:
• To the right (SE) of all the buoys, there's a space about 20-feet wide to the South on the beach. Kayakers launch there—sometimes, six at a time—but there's room to store your inflatable out of the way. • Interesting snorkeling/diving item: on the bottom, to your left, in about 15-feet of clear water, is a sunken wooden rowboat—filled with rocks. • Keep an eye to the NW: Cumulo-ominous clouds build up afternoons in easy view from Carry Beach. Operating an inflatable against a strong NW wind wouldn't be fun! • A caution: Use sun screen and towel-off all water droplets immediately upon leaving the water. With the "right" (NW) winds, the shallows of Carry Beach readily concentrate "Duck-Itch" cercaria! • While you're at Carry Beach, be sure to bring your camera: .
