There was one sailboat dragging one of the night we were anchor there. Either way, keep away from them and windward side if you can. Also, it is one hour away from the free dock in downtown Pensacola at 4.5kt. Be aware the dock does not allow overnight, but you can stay until late.

The anchorage is quiet with good wind and wake protection. It is in an industrial area so there is some related noise during the day, but not excessive. Walmart is a couple miles away if you need to go on a supply run.

Lots of noise due to a new bridge spanning Pensacola Bay. Public boat ramp before the bridge allows access to main road. Shopping is a couple mile walk West or take the bus.
