Beautiful area and nice night once the southerly winds calmed down. Seems protection would be good from easterly winds since the beach and trees are on that side. Didn't go ashore, but beach is right there if you want to dinghy over or for pet relief area. ICW wasn't busy and we were pretty good distance away, so we didn't get many wakes.

We use this anchorage every year. Easy in & out. Deep water, good wake protection from the shoals between anchorage and AICW but the traffic stops at dusk. We don't go ashore but many do. You can cozy up to shore if strong E wind but you will still swing withe the current
Lots of room.

Dropped the hook here for the night when St Augustine was full. Strong current but good holding and the breeze kept the nightly temp comfortable and the bugs at bay.

I have had 2 great nights here. Plenty of room for a number of boats also. Beaches to the east for your dog.

What a great place for a sailing vessel. We had 20 feet after entering. Follow instructions carefully. We were one of 5 boats with lots of room. Current was minimal.
