Horseshoe Bend Anchorage

Horseshoe Bend, between Horseshoe Point and Church Point on the east shore and Pagan Point on the west shore is a good big but protected anchorage. It's best to anchor on the south side because if you have a boat with a keel, the current will keep the boat swinging around if you anchor at the north end.

Equipment: Bring everything you need because there are no services here. You can bring a dinghy in to the St. Mary's College docks, but other than touring St. Mary's City, or going to the post office or church, there's nothing here for the cruisers. There is a gas station and mini mart (Cooks) up the road about 5 miles, and another one in the other direction about 5 miles - that's all.
