South Newport River

Mile Marker: 630.0
Lat / Lon: N 31° 35.862' / W 081° 11.176'
Depth: 10
Description:
Good anchorage in nice weather. Was losing daylight so I had no time to go into Wahoo River so this worked. It is exposed but in light wind it was a pleasant evening. Dropped the hook in 15 feet of water at low tide.
NOTE: PER GA HB 833 DO NOT ANCHOR WITHIN 150 FEET OF A MARINE STRUCTURE SUCH AS A PRIVATE DOCK OR 300 FEET OF A MARINA, OR WITHIN 500 FEET OF APPROVED COMMERCIAL SHELLFISH GROWING AREAS.

Quiet and beautiful anchorage. A lot of bugs but didn't seem to be the biting kind.

Wonderful anchorage with a strong hold. Very little light pollution, so good star gazing. Quiet. Only down side is what looks like a beach, is actually mountains of oyster shells. So no place to go walking. Other than that, it was perfect.
