small harbor
Modest boat refuge
A small harbor is a sheltered coastal inlet or anchorage, typically serving local fishing boats, pleasure craft, or limited commercial traffic rather than large shipping vessels.
Small harbors dot coastlines worldwide, often forming the center of fishing villages and seaside communities: The small harbor was crowded with lobster boats.
