High end luxury area to tuck in. Fischer island security patrols area routinely so it is very secure. Large boats come in for day anchorage but leave at night making for a quiet overnight anchorage. Down side is no shore access but beautiful view of the Miami skyline. Good holding in mud.

Anchored off the waste water treatment plant on Virginia Key made for unpleasant smells. Won't anchor here again.
