Duck Island Roads Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Duck Island Roads is an anchorage off Duck Island on the Connecticut shoreline, where you drop the hook in the lee of the island's two protective breakwaters — one running north, one running west — giving you solid shelter from open Long Island Sound. It's a quiet, no-frills spot with a chart scale of 1:20,000, so navigation into the area is well-documented and straightforward.
