We stayed here on New Years weekend 2022. We were going to Peck Lake anchorage but it was too crowded. We basically had this spot to ourselves. There was a little noise from the "sand bar" that is just north of this spot. Lots of boats going by on the ICW because of the holiday weekend so had some wake but calmed down and was very peaceful at night.
