Farrar Point is due south of Mile Island up in Center Harbor. People anchor on the south side of the point.
The big shoal at the Varney Islands is good for snorkeling, as are the shoals around the Beaver Islands. Everyone should snorkel the wreck of the Belknap at Steamboat Island. It's on the east side of the bridge close to where Steamboat Island becomes the causeway that connects it to the bridge to Birch Island. It's probably less than 40 feet from shore.
