Here's one of my favorites...

Mill Creek, off the Great Wicomico River, south of Smith Point in Virginia
Fl R 4 sec 15ft 4M "2MC" entrance marker at 37 47.6' N / 76 17.78'

Sheltered from weather in all directions, holding is excellent.
Water is clean, but only 2-3 ft visibility
Shoreline mostly wooded, with a few homes, very secluded and quiet
Activities-none ashore. This is a place to relax by yourself or raft up with friends. A good stop-over anchorage on a trip up or down the Bay.
