Default Re: Atlantic Highlands

Yes, stay south of the rock outcropping at western tip of skull.

Same thing on the Navesink River and Air Force cove. It has a rocky entrance if you go straight in ( not around the sedge island) from the NS Buoy side on low tide. I "ouched" there in my crabbing boat once.

A good plotter will show all this.

Make sure you have a good chart plotter and you can follow the unmarked channel that starts in the Highlands and runs to the Island like you see below.

Good luck, go slow and be safe.
