The small settlement of Parham lies close to the base of the peninsula and Parham Harbor was once the island’s principal harbor and capital.

Docking
This is a well-sheltered anchorage. There is a shallow (5ft) berth at the jetty just east of Myers Cove and a hurricane hole in the mangroves on the southeastern side of the harbor with a 2m dredged entrance.
The best hurricane storage is at North Sound Marina, which has dedicated tie-downs.
