Excellent holding and wind protection from NE to SW winds. Don't get in too close to mangroves or the mosquitos will get you.

Don't tell anyone, this is a great beautiful anchorage. The wind was from the SE, we pulled up within 200' of shore in 8' of water. There were some waves from the ICW, by the time they arrived at the anchorage they were mild rollers. When we pulled in, we were the only boat, then two others. Plenty of room, so we were far apart. Good holding as well. A worth while stop over.

We anchored here on 2/25/21 because we had anchored here previously in early Feb of 2019. We liked it then and were happy to find that like before, there was no other boats when we arrived. Three others did come in before sundown, but there is plenty of room for lots of boats. We set the hook in 6 feet of water on 75 ft of rode. Holding was excellent and the breeze was refreshing. However, the mosquitos came out about dusk and drove us inside. They made their way into the salon as well and we were invaded by the little blood suckers until bedtime. When we pulled anchor in the morning the chain came up clean and only some hard mud/clay on the anchor that washed off as we idled out.
