Two boats moored today with a view of the Lignumvitae Bridge. The walk-in the State Park is nice, bring water. We saw town square and enjoyed the flora and the birds. Didn't find Robbie's, May be gone with the 2022 hurricanes

Moored on the state park moorings. Brisk winds out of the ESE to SE with good protection. All other balls were unoccupied. Nice walk on Indian Key and fun stop at Robbies for drinks and wifi. We be back!

Three mooring balls float south of the little island property of state park. They are exposed but worth the stay if you can’t get to Rodriguez Key like us one night. Easy access from Hawk Channel. No real access to town. One ball is very close to the island’s pretty beach area and wooden dock. We had just a few inches of mud and sand under our 5’ keel. Not bad for the price - free.
