Cute little place not close to anything. Might be able to dinghy to town but it was off season. The restaurant was also closed since it was off season. The docks were sturdy, and good electric and easy in and out. The 50 amp service was $10 for the night which isn't listed.

The dock master and dock hands were awesome. We tied up at the fuel dock which was super easy. The price is now $5 ft plus electric. It was a quick walk to an amazing restaurant Shipwreck Grill.

We called the bridge tender and he confirmed it was 15 feet and the tide board also confirmed it.

We anchored overnight with good holding. The anchor came up muddy but we cleaned it off with the salt water wash down. It was very easy to take the dog to land. We went to Griffs Landing and also to the Intracoastal Park.

We stopped here for one night and got here late. They put us on the fuel dock which was perfect for us. In the morning we relocated to fill up with diesel at a great price. We booked on Snag -a-slip but called to confirm as it was the day of reservation.

We arrived late Sunday afternoon and it was still in full swing. The anchorage was crowded but we were able to easily find a place to anchor. The music didn't stop until way past 9:00 pm. The view of the city lit up at night was amazing. It was the easiest place to land a dinghy and take the dog for a walk. I would stop again but more midweek.

We dragged because our anchor got stuck on an abandoned anchor chain. Once set we had a good hold. There is a boat ramp to take the dog to or you can go up into the canal and go to the Library park. It is not a no wake zone so be prepared for some boats to zip through.

The dock hands and office staff were friendly and extremely helpful. They have cement bulkheads with pilings to tie off to and a 1.5 ft tidal change which makes it challenging to get on and off depending upon the tide. Fun restaurant on site.

We anchored here and rafted up with our buddy boat. We were able to dinghy to the dinghy dock and shop, eat and walk the dog easily. There is a Winn Dixie within walking distance and a place close by it to dinghy to also. The dock master could not have been any nicer.

We got stuck at the lock but were able to back out. The lock is not operating as of last night. We rafted onto the fence inside the staging wall at the gate. They tried repairing it but need more time.

This was a great place to anchor with a dog. There was a park right near the anchorage and one across the channel. The anchor held great but came up with mud that needed to be cleaned off.

We anchored at Sebastian Beach on the east side of the ICW close to the shore. There was great holding and anchor came up clean and it protected us from the East winds. There were several great spots to take the dog to the beach where there was grass also.

We came in as a squall was going past and they were super nice and helpful even shorthanded and the basin is well protected.We fueled up with reasonable prices, don't forget to ask for the BOATUS discount. We stayed the night and decided to come back on our way up north.

The marina has excellent floating docks, close to town with all the restaurants, great laundry and shower facilities and best of all a courtesy car for $20 for 2 hours. We went to Lowes for groceries and were very impressed with the store.

What a great place to stop! Matt was helpful in docking and giving us information about the town. The clubhouse and grounds are magnificent and peaceful. Every boat owner we met was unbelievably nice and helpful. We used the courtesy car to go in to town for some supples.
