Goose Island Anchorage

Goose Island offers a well-sheltered anchorage tucked into the quieter reaches of Pipes Cove, on the North Fork near Peconic Bay. Drop the hook here and you've got calm, protected water with a genuinely remote, unspoiled feel despite being close to the vineyards and farmstands of Southold. It's a solid spot if you want to swing on the hook away from the crowds without sacrificing easy access to one of Long Island's most scenic stretches of coastline.
