California Anchorage

California Anchorage sits along the Outer Banks shoreline of Dare County, northeastern North Carolina, where you can drop the hook in the open coastal waters that stretch for miles. The setting is wild and windswept, with that classic barrier island feel — flat, expansive, and far from any crowds. It's worth knowing that anchorage rules in the area require you to stay at least 100 feet clear of other vessels and any navigation channels, so scope out your spot carefully before settling in.
