Good only in calm conditions or light NE winds. Can anchor close to shore and beach dinghy for pet access. Nice walk on beach but be aware that crocodiles have been reportedly seen. Great star-gazing. 1-2 bar AT&T cell service. Also be aware need to have completed Everglades online course, as is part of NP.

One of our favorite anchorages ever. About as far from civilization as you can possibly get while still being "in" Florida.
