Quartermaster Harbor affords excellent anchorage about 2 miles inside the entrance in 5 to 10 fathoms, muddy bottom. The harbor provides easy access, however caution is advised to avoid charted obstructions and wrecks.
A shoal just inside the entrance extends 300 yards from the E shore and is marked by a buoy. Several shoal areas with depths of 2 to 2¾ fathoms extend up to 400 yards off the W shore between Neill Point and Harbor Heights. Shoal areas with depths of 4¬º fathoms are near midchannel W of Manzanita and W of Dockton. In 2007, a wreck covered 8¾ fathoms was in this vicinity at 47°20’59″N., 122°29’01″W.
