Little St Lawrence Harbour, Newfoundland

The approach is straightforward. The outer reaches of the harbour are too exposed to the ocean swell for comfortable anchoring, but once in the inner pool that lies behind the bluff extending from the NE shore the water flattens out to give a perfect anchorage in scenic surroundings with plenty of swinging room and good holding in kelp on mud with 5-6 m depth.  Excellent mobile phone and 4G mobile internet connection from the mast at lies at the head of the cove 

There is a substantial wharf on the NE corner of the inner pool which appears to be little used and was obstructed by fishing nets at the time of our visit. The pilot reports that there is approximately 9ft of water alongside this wharf, but with our draft of  2.1m we ran out of water whilst l still some 100m off the wharf so we suspect silting has occurred in recent years.
