All permanents are gone. New Delray Police marine unit is enforcing 24 hr rule in this small harbor. Decent for overnight though.

Anchoring difficult, soft muck floor.
Anchor drags in stiff wind. Permanent boats have best floor, no good ground available.

This is a good little anchorage for a night or two, with excellent holding in thick mud. There are 3 "permanent" boats here but room for about 3 more to be safely outside of the channel. Depth no problem for 5.5' draft boat in about 8 feet of water. Good protection from winds in most directions, especially east. We had 20 knots with higher gusts and did not drag. Dinghy across the ICW to Knowles Park boat ramp for shore access/ pet relief. Publix, Walgreens etc within walking distance. Lots of entertainment watching the boats go by on the ICW.
