Gorgeous anchorage with a great holding. Short dinghy ride over to Wacca Wache Marina or public boat ramp. Scenic and peaceful. A few smaller boats cut through to bypass the no wake zone. The airboat tour comes through approximately 3 times but beyond those 2 slight disturbances this is an amazing anchorage!!!!

We dropped anchor just inside the channel going around the island. Good holding in a strong current. Two more boats were anchored past us and there were at least two derelict boats anchored in the area. This anchorage is right across the river from Wacca Wache Marina, which has one of the cheapest prices for diesel on the ICW and we arrived with less than 10 gallons of fuel on board. (We topped off the tank and got a pumpout in the morning.) There's a dock at the marina's boat ramp that's suitable for landing with a dinghy to take dogs ashore or visit the restaurant which is open for lunch and dinner.

The anchorage was quiet and mostly dark. Very pleasant.

Good holding. Quick dingy ride to Wacca Wache marina. Off main river so a few boats. Black flys are definitely a challenge on windless nights.
