A popular spot for anchoring and swimming is the West Alton sandbar, which is right at the mouth of Smalls Cove (lighted marker #75, located at area "H 14" on the Bizer chart). The water there is fairly shallow and on nice days there are often a number of boats, including an occasional sailboat, anchored there. You'll need to watch your depth gauge as you approach the area to ensure you don't get in too shallow, but you should be able to find a spot with just enough depth for your keel.
