This was a short stop anchorage in our plan on Nov. 29, 2023. After going by our planned stop the next day I am glad we anchored here. We didn't have any issue with wakes and had good east and west wind protection. There were plenty of beaches to pull the dinghy up and take the dog for a walk. Plenty of water with good holding. I would stop here again.

Great holding, we anchored in about 7 feet. W wind when we arrived but calmed overnight. Current was not an issue but some big boat waves during the day. Some road noise but a beautiful sandy beach for the dogs to run abit...just don't let them go into the Wildlife Protection Area. Got a little buggy at sunset. Would stay here again.

This is our favorite anchorage in Hobe Sound. There is a sandy beach nearby for pet relief and there's room for many boats in 8 to 10 MLLW. Passing powerboats may rock you during the day but it's quiet and calm at night.

This is our favorite anchorage in the area. Shore access is easy to a sandy beach for our dog. There will be wakes during the day but calm at night. The sunrises are outstanding. Just go straight in and anchor in 7 to 8 ft of water.
