I stayed here for a night and had no issues. Anchored in 8’. Holding here was good, but it was calm when I was anchored.

There are multiple anchorages along this stretch of Hobe Sound adjacent to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Each of these ‘coves’ has multiple small beaches and mangrove lines shores. We spent 3 nights here and spent quite a bit of time kayaking this pretty area. We anchored just north of Marker 41. In the 3 days we only saw 3 other vessels total, each anchored for one night on one of the other coves. Nice to have anchorage to ourselves. There is moderate boat traffic during the day and some of the larger power vessels do cause significant wake. There also were some jet skis each day in the anchorage areas. At night was extremely quiet. We had winds upwards of 20-25 knots directly from the North at one point and was pretty bumpy. Winds from East and West protected well. Cell service was excellent on both Verizon and Google Fi networks. No wifi. Easy to land kayaks or dinghy on beach or west side. East side of the ICW is all private homes. Nice overall place to stop and relax if your in this part of the ICW.

Had to stop here because of an oncoming storm. Beautiful Anchorage. Good holding. Very quiet and peaceful after the storm passed.
