Had to stop here right at dark. Could not get the anchor set, had to throw out second anchor. Thunderstorms came up during the night and blew us almost on shore. Not very much fun. Wide open water when a storm is coming, no protection

Very nice Marina! Friendly helpful staff, walking distance to many downtown restaurants and businesses. Stayed for 5 nights fixing a broken drive train part. Cheapest stay I encountered on my entire journey from the Fl. Keys to Louisiana. Well worth a stop over!

Look for flashing siren type lights. Runs from 7am to 5 pm currently. Extreme caution as cable can come completely out of the water!
