    Very nice & quiet anchorage. We stayed for 4 nights but there is no easy dinghy dock access. The nearby sandbar is perfect for dogs to go to the bathroom but not a great option if you need to run errands. Completely sand bottom but anchor held well even through a small storm. There is a bit of a current though to be aware of. Stay dead center when coming in from the north (don't attempt to come in from the south side)

    Stayed one night while heading north on the Great Loop. Had a good holding with winds coming out of the south. If they were coming out of the north I would suggest you anchor south of the bridge. Very thick muddy bottom with tiny shells that held strong. Easy access to the nearby boat ramp & an easy walk to publix. Lots of fast food options nearby too.

    Spent one night in the mooring field rafted up to our buddy boat. Super fun but could be awkward if you're not a people person. Beautiful scenery surrounding the mooring field and marina. Great spot literally right off the ICW.

    Good spot to stay overnight. Live music did play at the nearby restaurant but stopped by 10pm. Boat ramp under the bridge for dinghy access & pet bathroom break. Half a mile walk to downtown Jensen Beach with lots of restaurants, then Publix another half mile or so away. Depending on wind direction it can get rocky but the anchor held very well in the thick muddy bottom
