The small bay south of Tel Dor is sheltered by a submerged kurkar ridge in the west. Small and medium-sized vessels found shelter in the bay during calm and rough sea. Numerous stone anchors and remnants of cargoes of ships that were probably wrecked while anchoring, were found on the seabed. At the northeast corner of the bay, an ashlar pavement extends along the margins of Tel Dor for ca. 40 m. The structure was built of elongated ashlar slabs (up to 1 x 1 x 2.5 m), laid as headers, that totaled almost 10 m in width. This structure may have been a quay, or landing dock, or foundations of a coastal structure dating to the 13^th century BCE.  The excavator (A. Raban) has associated this structure with the harbor of the Sea Peoples at Dor.
