Pleasants Point

Location: Beaufort River
Lat / Lon: N 32° 27.330' / W 080° 40.633'
Depth: 10
Description:
This anchorage is essentially just a pull-off of the ICW, but it does get you a good distance from the channel. Enter the anchorage across from the boat ramp and move WNW into the pocket of about 10-15 feet of water. There is less water the more you continue deeper into the pocket but also more crab pots. There is a lot of current so you will turn with the tides. The boat ramp provides shore access for a quick dog walk. Holding is good in mud with shells. This anchorage is exposed to wakes from the ICW but we didn't notice any between sunset and sunrise. I would only use this option if Factory Creek is full.
