Amazing sunsets. Don’t miss out on the bus that you can take to the local pub, it is quite an experience.
Montague Harbour offers sheltered moorage with good anchoring, at depths from 20 to 50 feet.
Even though there can be many boats in this harbour, it is a great place to visit and you can usually find a place to drop anchor or to tie to a mooring buoy.
