Needs Ore Point Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor at Needs Ore Point on the eastern shore of the Beaulieu River estuary, where the anchorage sits between port markers 20 and 22 in a quiet, wildlife-rich stretch of the New Forest coastline. You'll pay £10 for the night at anchor, or grab a buoy at £2.50 per metre. The surrounding mudflats and salt marshes feel genuinely remote, with the area steeped in WWII history — a wartime airfield was built nearby in 1943 as part of the D-Day build-up.
