We spent two nights on the hook in here. It is very shallow (4.5 feet low tide) anchorage with great holding. We had inches if not nothing under our keel in this little harbor. We tried to get to mangrove marina's fuel dock but ran out of water. About 20 yards out. The harbor is mostly live boards and seemingly abandoned vessels. There is a well stocked Ace hardware a quick walk away and some bars and restaurants near by. We enjoyed the quiet and protection from the wind in here.
