General Description
Totland Bay and Colwell Bay are included in this guide for two different reasons. Colwell Bay offers a public slipway to launch your trailer boat, and Totland Bay offers a useful deepwater anchorage in settled summer weather, away from the crowds of the Solent but close enough to nip back in should conditions worsen.
The Totland Anchorage is more sheltered than it looks by the Shingle Bank, parts of which dry and protect it to a certain extent from waves and swell. Nevertheless this is not a place to be in strong winds from the South right through to the North, although it is protected from the East. ... read more
Approach
The Totland Anchorage is approached from the Needles Channel either from the south-west or the north-east.
If coming from the Solent keep well offshore to avoid the drying rocky ledges of Warden Point. The simplest method is to stay in the Needles Channel, and turn into the Anchorage when the pier bears due East from you. ... read more
Berthing, Mooring & Anchoring
For Totland, anchor to the South or South West of the pier head to suit draft. Holding ground seems reasonable.
