5-12-24 Great holding and deep water to anchorage. Anchored 200 feet past mooring ball in 14 feet of water at low tide. Two other boats came in later, plenty of room for several boats and room to swing with tidal change.

Stay here one night in late April 2024 on the way north to Charleston. Wind was 10-15 from the East so there was a little chop. We anchored near the mouth of the creek a couple hundred feet west of the lone mooring ball. Plenty of swing room. Another vessel was inside further. there is roo for many boats here. Holding was good in mud and it was comfortable during the night. Only 19 NM from Charleston so it allowed us to pick tides for departure.

Enjoyed our 2nd visit to this anchorage a few nights ago. I noticed when we left in the morning, at high tide, that the MOORING BUOY that everyone passes on their way in to anchor was awash at high tide! Only ripple could be seen… so here are our coordinates as we passed 50 ft west of the mooring's location: 32° 42.558 N 080°11.157 W if you plan to come in at high tide, a waypoint at this spot might be a good idea.

Good holding in deep water for the 6 to 7 foot tide change here. Lots of birds, a great view of sunset, and peaceful. Also, it makes for a shorter run to Charleston the next day.

We joined six other boats a Saturday evening in mid April. There was plenty of space for everyone. An easy stop.

April 3 2022 anchored here again. 5 other boats with us tonight. Good on air TV service reception. Mild current and good holding. Nice place to just sit and chill out for the day. Good ATT cell coverage. A mooring is in middle of channel just before the anchorage. Some crab pots when entering. Nice sunset and peaceful.

Excellent anchorage with good protection to south by trees and north & east by marsh grass. Moderate current and can hold many boats. Go past private mooring ball. Very nice swing room. Easy on and off ICW. Be careful if you come in at high tide as this area of SC has a large tidal difference and the sides drop down accordingly. I anchor in the middle and it leaves plenty of room for other boats to go around either side. Like other linear anchor creeks, feel free to go in past the WG marker. Not real great current and very good holding. Stayed here multiple time. Not really dog friendly. 5G.

Anchored here on 5-14-21 and again on 5-30-21. Great anchorage. We have stayed here a number of other times too. Took two tries to set on the 14th but held well after that. We always seem to get a wonderful dolphin show when we stop here.

This is a popular anchorage, if you see it, you will know why. A good creek with minor current and easy access to ICW. Someone put in an open mooring ball near the entrance. Plenty of room for several boats without annoying each other. Plenty of depth, further in the creek is better protection from wake. Wind can come from W and shoots down the creek, so watch weather for a smoother ride.

Beautiful anchorage for pure beauty. Bright night sky, dolphins, sunsets. Perfect getaway. We were one of 4 boats along the creek and everyone was well spaced. There is lots of room for lots of boats plenty of room to swing and plenty of water. Highly recommend for a stop if you are on your way to/from Charleston. Cell service with Verizon and Google Fi were both very good.

We spent a nice quiet evening here on our way north. It was early April. There were no bugs and it was very quiet. Holding is good with a little mud on the anchor when it came up.
