| Description: | Gardiners Bay is at the western end of Block Island Sound from which it is separated by Gardiners Island. The bay is an excellent anchorage easily entered day or night, and is the approach to Shelter Island Sound and the Peconic Bays. The principal entrance is northward of Gardiners Point. The entrance from Long Island Sound is through Plum Gut. The entrance southward of Gardiners Island is used by fishing vessels.
Montauk Harbor, in the northern part of Lake Montauk, is entered through a dredged channel on the northern shore about 3 miles west of Montauk Point. The entrance is protected by jetties, each of which is marked by a light, and the west jetty has a fog signal. A lighted bell buoy, about 0.3 mile north of the entrance, marks the approach to the harbor. In November 2004, the controlling depths in the channel were 11.9 feet (12 feet at midchannel) to the yacht basin east of Star Island. In March 2004, the boat basin northwestward of Star Island had depths of 8.9 to 10 feet. The channel is marked by private seasonal buoys. |
