Mooring Around Two Harbors

Although moorings in the Two Harbors system are leased to private parties, they are rented on a first-come, first-serve basis whenever they are not in use. Moorings fees are based on the size of the mooring and the length of your stay. To rent a mooring, just call Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 09 when you arrive, and give them the name of the cove where you wish to moor. 

There are four general mooring areas:

• Isthmus Cove, Fourth of July Cove, and Cherry Cove
• Emerald Bay, Howland's Landing, and Little Geiger
• White's Landing, Moonstone, Hen Rock, Buttonshell
• Catalina Harbor, Wells Beach
