Description:
Nice little anchorage off the ICW. Very protected. Anchor caught right away. We shared this anchorage with one other boat that was in the suggested spot. A few nice fisherman were in and out, otherwise, very quiet!

We shared this anchorage with another big boat, they got the anchorage closer in but this one was just as good. Wind from South so well protected. There is a sailboat that appears to be someone's home but they were very quiet. Highly recommended.
