You're definitely not going to be doing any shopping here! This is a beautiful secluded anchorage just off the ICW with good holding. At low tide this anchorage has incredible echoes. Give a holler and it will come right back to you it's incredible!

Easy access. We shared the anchorage with one other boat. Trees on the north shore would provide protection from that direction but we had light southernly all night. No issues.

Anchored here for the evening on 4/0/22. Easy access right off of the waterway with good holding and room for several boats, though we had the anchorage all to ourselves. Mud bottom held well in a moderate, reversing current.
