| Description: | Oyster Bay, on the south side of Long Island Sound about 5 miles westward of Eatons Neck Light, lies between
Lloyd Neck and Rocky Point and is the approach to Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay Harbor. The harbor is marked by Cold Spring Harbor Light (40°54'48''N., 73°29'36''W.), 37 feet above the water, and shown from a skeleton tower on a caisson with a red triangular daymark. The entrance and harbor are characterized by extensive shoals, boulder reefs, and broken ground making off from the shores. Vessels should proceed with caution if obliged to approach or cross shoal areas. The bay south of Cold Spring Harbor Light is a secure harbor, available for vessels of less than 18-foot draft.
Huntington Bay, just westward of Eatons Neck, is the approach to Northport Bay and Harbor, Centerport Harbor, Huntington Harbor, and Lloyd Harbor. The bay, protected against all but northerly winds, is an excellent
anchorage for large vessels. Depths range from 36 to 25 feet, fairly close to its southern end, and
anchorage can be selected according to draft and wind direction. |
