Swansboro Spoils Island

Mile Marker: 228.2
Lat / Lon: N 34° 40.390' / W 077° 06.662'
Depth: 7
Tide: 2.5
Description:
Beautiful scenic anchorage, dog friendly. No ICW wake - protected off main channel. NE Wind and current fought against one other a little. We swung 180 with no issues. Narrow anchorage area - saw 5 feet at low tide on the edges. Room for 2 or 3 boats but stay to the middle. One sailboat anchored closer to ICW and some small fishing boats/kayaks went by while we were there. Beaches for walking the dogs were a short dinghy ride away.
