Beaufort River - Unnamed Island

Location: Beaufort River
Mile Marker: 537.0
Lat / Lon: N 32° 24.749' / W 080° 40.301'
Depth: 12 feet
Tide: 6 feet
Description:
Enter from the south near flashing red 242 (Mile 538.6) off Spanish Point. Proceed east, and then turn north between the marsh island to the west and the marshes to the east.
Large area room for many boats with good holding. Usually wakes are not an issue here. Even if you would drag anchor here it is large area so little worries of bumping into someone.

We were going to anchor close to the anchor indicated on the app, a boat that was already anchored radioed and said that they anchored close to where we were going to drop the hook and ended up hard a ground before low tide. We ended up anchoring closer to the yacht club in 20 feet without a problem. FYI we had a 7.2 foot tidal swing during our stay.

Easy in/out. Was here on Sunday afternoon, lots of small boat traffic with resulting wakes. Monday was fine. Easy dingy into town.

We couldn't get in here due to wind however we stayed across the river behind the sailboat mooring field and had a very peaceful night and didn't move an inch.

April 2 ,2022 We have anchored here multiple times. We visit wonderful Beaufort in the day and anchor here at night. Easy in and out. Lots of space so no worries about dragging anchor or crowding. Some wakes but not many as it is supposed to be no wake between the bridges. No real wind protection. Have observed the cruise ships and some commercial traffic on occasion here passing on the ICW
