THIS tight little harbor is home to Winter Harbor’s fleet of lobsterboats. There is a purposeful bustle, starting early in the morning, and much to observe. It’s close to town and an interesting place to spend the night if you can find a mooring.

Anchorages, Moorings. The inner harbor is jammed with lobsterboats, floats, and dinghies, and there is no room to anchor. On a given night, there may be two or three moorings available. Ask a lobsterman. Sometimes eight or nine yachts will be here, nested three on a mooring. This little harbor is extremely well protected.
