We stopped at this anchorage after a long travel day. The anchor hung first try and the current was mild in light winds which was a relief. There is no shore access so this anchorage is best used as an over night stop over. The location is very pretty with nice, orange, sunsets. A bonus is that it is not that far off the ICW. We would return to this anchorage.

Nice remote anchorage. Nothing available to do onshore but great stopover point. Had 2+ bars on my cell phone. We were here in very light winds. Did not see another boat all night or morning.

Beautiful Spot. Was able to access cell service for wifi puck. Just off the magenta line with no early morning fishing boat traffic. Was there on November 17, 2018. There was a light breeze from the north.
