This would be a nice anchorage if not for all the irresponsible power boaters the blast by here. I've been waked to the point of everything not nailed down on the floor. It starts about 7am and stops about 7 pm

It's like 95 on a holiday weekend with no concern for anyone else.

Tiki52 is decent for food, drink and music. The food at Blue point is marginal, but the have decent music and a pool.

March 2023, Good holding. Depth around 8 feet at mid-tide. Best entrance seems to be just north of the Manatee zone sign. Or just lineup with the bows of the big boats pointing out of the marina.

We did not go ashore, but it appears there's a nice beach by the hotel where you could land, your dinghy, and then walk to a nice restaurant. It appears you can get access to other services from there, because you're right by A1A.

Great stop, nice sand beach for the dingy nearby, Sand bar to the south to hang out.

Glass Bottom kayak tours start right here in the cove (see a sea turtle or manatee up close)
