    We anchored in 19 feet of water and rode kayaks into shore. It was a windy day but we had no problem setting the anchor and it came up mostly clean with a small amount of mud.
    The island is beautiful with soft white sand, grassy dunes and a small interior 'bay' near the anchorage. There are a few small cacti on the island so keep an eye out.
    We saw dolphins, birds, and 15-20 stingrays just off the beach. Really enjoyed being here for several hours and hope to come back and spend several days on the hook.
