Echo Bay is a embayment located off Long Island Sound in the city of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York.〔 It is an anchorage for small craft and is generally fully occupied during the summer. The depths at the anchorage range from 4 to 15 feet, and launches can anchor in the shallow cove on the northeast side of the harbor, entering between Harrison Islands and the rocky, grassy islet off the northwest side of Echo Island.〔U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (1918) ''United States Coast Pilot'' U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D.C., p.142〕 Vessels frequently anchor between the entrance of Echo Bay and ''Hicks Ledge'', in depths of 20 to 24 feet. On the northwest side of Echo Bay a dredged channel 100 feet wide and 15 feet deep, marked by buoys, leads to the New Rochelle Municipal Marina at Beaufort Point (Hudson Park).〔Constitution, by-laws, racing rules, etc. of the New Rochelle Yacht Club; club houses: Harrison Island, shore station: Hudson Park, anchorage: Echo Bay, New Rochelle, N.Y.;Author=New Rochelle Yacht Club;Publisher=The Knickerbocker Press, 1911;Page=70〕 ==Coastal geography==
Premium Point is on the northeast side of the entrance of Echo Bay. "Spindle Rock", lying 100 yards southwestward of Premium Point, is covered at high water, and is marked at its southwest end by a red buoy. "Table rock", bare at half tide, is on a reef which extends from the shore at a point 3/8 of a mile eastward of Premium Point. "Hicks Ledge", a small patch of rock with 8 feet over it, lies nearly 1/2 of a mile southwestward of Premium Point. The passage between "Spindle Rock" and Premium Point is practically blocked by rocks which are hidden even at low tide. "Baileys rock" is near the end of a reef which extends about 200 yards off the point of Davenport Neck on the southwest side at the entrance of Echo Bay. The rock is marked on its eastern side by a gas buoy.〔 Islands within the bay include Harrison, Echo, Clifford, Tank and Big and Little Hassock islands. Southwest of Echo Bay there is a stone pier which protects a private boat landing on its southwest side. Pine Island is privately owned and covered with brush. Two bare rocks lie 200 yards southwestward of Pine Island. Southwestward of the rocks there is a long, bare ledge, the southwest end of which is marked by a spindle with a cage. Between the spindle and two other spindles southward of it, there is a channel used by small craft navigating between Echo Bay and New Rochelle Harbor.〔New Rochelle and Echo Bay Harbors, New York : review of reports;Author=United States.
