• Description:

  Was looking for shelter from the SE wind blowing to 20knts. This anchorage was fairly protected from the buildings, we still had a breeze, but was mostly knocked down by the land. As with all ICW locations, we did have boat waves. We were far enough off the channel, most were flattened by the time they reached us. Easy dingy to shore, a small sand beach that seemed to allow landings, we didn't have issues. Just south to West Palm Beach. Only one other boat with us at this anchorage.

  NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109
