Anchorage Review for Hell Gate Cove

Reviewed by: David Ries on Mar 29, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 40'
Draft: 5.0'

March 2023, Good holding. Depth around 8 feet at mid-tide. Best entrance seems to be just north of the Manatee zone sign. Or just lineup with the bows of the big boats pointing out of the marina.

We did not go ashore, but it appears there's a nice beach by the hotel where you could land, your dinghy, and then walk to a nice restaurant. It appears you can get access to other services from there, because you're right by A1A.

Anchorage Review for Great Harbour - Bullocks Harbour

Anchored 4 nights in March 2023. Holding was excellent—we picked a Sandy spot. Even with a NW wind at 20 kts,—a worst case scenario—we held well with plenty of scope, and waves were not uncomfortable. Tie the dinghy at Government dock, and walk to basic grocery stores. Dinner at the Hammerhead was delightful.
