Absecon Channel
Absecon Channel is an anchorage spot tucked into the waterways of Atlantic City, putting you within striking distance of the famous Boardwalk, casinos, and all the buzz the city has to offer. The contrast of anchoring out on calm tidal water while the city skyline lights up at night is genuinely hard to beat. Tides here show a notable diurnal swing, so keep an eye on the USGS monitoring data for current conditions before you settle in.
