What you need to know

Waterfront restaurant and event space on the New River — but it sits on MCAS New River. Base access is required, so this is not a spot you simply pull up to unless you are authorised.

Open place detailsChange

Forecast, observations and tides are live from NOAA, the National Weather Service and NDBC. Run time, fuel, depth and daylight are calculated from your boat profile. Planning aid only — not for navigation. Carry current charts.
