East Moorings
The East Mooring Program is a seasonal program operated by the City of Monterey under a permit from the California Coastal Commission and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Boats that are 50 feet and less may be placed on these two-point mooring systems from April 1 to October 31. Moorings
are rented on a monthly basis and the mooring charge includes a dinghy space. The permit requires all moorings be clear from November 1 until March 31. Owners of boats that have participated in the program during the summer are offered an opportunity to occupy a slip in the Marina at a greatly reduced transient rate during the winter months. Contact the Monterey Harbor Office for more details. View Rates

Open Anchorage
The area east of Wharf II and the East Moorings is open anchorage and has excellent holding ground. Please note that
a sand bottom with some eel grass may cause a light bruce or plow style anchor to skip when setting. Boats may anchor in
15 to 30 feet of water. Boats cannot be anchored here for more than 30 days in any six month period. View Rates
