Anchoring: Vessels may anchor without charge in the recommended anchorage area. It is not appropriate to anchor inside the mooring area (the area with orange buoys) or on the west side of the Harford Pier. Recommended anchorage areas are between the County Wharf (Avila Pier) and the Cal Poly Pier. It is not recommended to anchor during inclement weather. If in question about anchoring or mooring, please contact the Harbor Patrol for assistance on VHF Radio, Channel 12 or 16.
Landing: You can use the landing on the east side of the Avila pier (the eastern most pier) for loading and unloading people and supplies. The dinghy mooring line is currently on the west side. Use a long painter (at least 45 feet) to be able to pull your dinghy to and from the dinghy mooring line by looping the painter around the line and securing to the ladder on the west side of the pier.
