Stayed one night. Beautiful place to pullover and rest. A little Rollie from passing boats. Decent wind protection. Would stay here again.

Very popular day anchorage. Arrived 4:30 and there were roughly 25 boats anchored. After 6:00 most left and I see only 5 cruisers and 1 sailboat spending the night. There is shore access on the east side of the bay, but no stores or village, just private summer mansions and a beautiful country club.

This is a good one night stop as there's nothing to do ashore, which I believe is all private land anyway.

Holding was good, protection from waves, wakes, wind, weather, was pretty good though we had little to contend with anyway.

The major issue here is it's very small and with even just a few boats becomes very crowded very quickly. It's also very shallow in most of the bay. Check your charts before dropping anchor!

A great spot if wind is from any direction but N or NW. Excellent swimming, paddleboarding etc. Great snorkeling for golf balls. Smaller vessels can go quite a bit further in.
