Free Dock Review for Publix Dinghy dock

Reviewed by: Ann Perry, off-piste, on Jan 26, 2025

Rating: 5

Brand new floating dock right outside the back door to Publix parking garage. Tied up with the big boat, no need to find a anchorage to dinghy over. It is a minimum wake zone, but still beware on a busy day it could be a bit rolly.
Store is two floors up on the elevator. Brought the cart back down right to the door. Carts have wheel locks that won't let it outside the garage, but an easy walk down the ramp to the boat.
Store is new, clean, smaller than most Publix, but still had good variety and reasonable prices.
Easiest grocery shopping on the Great Loop!! Thanks, Publix, for making the stop so accommodating!

Anchorage Review for Adams Creek - Cedar Creek (MM 187)

Spent a very quiet night in this beautiful cove. We anchored right up against the east shore near the white house (unoccupied?) with 6' at high tide. Very muddy so be prepared to clean that anchor as it comes up. Several sailboats anchored well to our west. Perfectly calm night so no concern about wind protection. A few small wakes in the afternoon and early morning, but no concern. Cell service varied from 3 bars to none.

10 stars! Greg was so helpful and friendly! He has done a lot to make this marina a must-stop location on the ICW. Shower/bath house was immaculate.
Fully stocked with towels, shampoo, etc. Grab a chair and a $3 beer in the marina office and visit for a bit. Make sure you get the t-shirt/koozie/drink bundle ;)
Docks are in good shape, but a little bit of a hop to get off the boat. Just be patient and watch your step. The fuel line comes right to your slip.
Town is small...everything is just across the street. Several nice shops to visit. The ACE Hardware has anything you'll need. Text ahead for dinner reservations at Spoon River, the farm to table restaurant next to ACE. You won't be disappointed.
We will be back, for sure!!

Fantastic marina! Free laundry!! Pump out at slip. Very friendly and helpful dockhands. Had to leave in a very brisk wind and the dockhands made sure we knew how to maneuver and kept an eye on us until we were out. Would definitely stay here again!
