Spent five days here but anchored closer to the bridge right off the restaurant. Bottom is cluttered with hurricane debris and fouled anchor a couple times. Bayou Joe's restaurant is ok. Dinghy landing in the far corner of the marina. Not the best but you can get Uber to about anything you need. Didn't go farther than a few hundred yards past the bridge because of all the sunken boats.
