We spent a week hanging out here on our Lagoon 410. There's room here to anchor with good holding in mud. Watch out for crab pots.

Going ashore is a little tricky. We bought fuel and the Julington Creek Marina on the other side of the bridge and they let us tie up our dinghy while we went out to eat and hit the grocery store. The docks on west side of the bridge are not as friendly to allowing people to tie up, I've read, but didn't experience.

There is some wake from power boaters on the west side of the no wake signs, but not too bad depending on how close to shore you anchor.
