This anchorage is beautiful and we stayed two nights. The island shoreline is comprised of white sand and is great for walking and shelling, or walking your pet if you dinghy over (Pets need to stay off the dunes.). Holding is excellent the anchor came up with a little mud. The tidal current was of little concern. Wind protection is on 3 of 4 sides. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. This is an excellent staging anchorage for the crossing to Steinhatchee. If you like beautiful solitude this is the place to drop the hook.

Great spot - actually did two anchorages here on Dog Island. Depth much more than on charts (read 9’ but was 15’). Nice and quiet - just a few locals around to fish.
