Anchorage Review for Memorial Island
Reviewed by: Ma Barley on Jan 6, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 65'
Draft: 4.0'Overall Rating:4Holding:5Wind Protection:5Current Flow:5Wake Protection:3Scenic Beauty:4Ease of Shopping:2Shore Access:3Pet Friendly:3Cell Service:3WiFi:2I have not anchored this one yet but will be spending a lot of time there in the next couple years as we have a home on the river near enough to dinghy to the boat. The Vero Beach City Marina is just to the north as is the amazing and famous RIVERSIDE CAFE & BAR which is riverside dining. (the "all you can eat" Seafood Buffet on Sundays is quite good, LOTS of oysters! If you order the oysters any other day it is about $24 a dozen. On Sundays Pay $25. for the brunch and eat them till you explode! (Don't do that it is unhealthy to eat too many...LOL). Feel free to ask me any questions about this area.
There is a BUS that comes through the City Marina regularly that will take you to local shopping.
For 3 years I hosted the Boaters Social at the north pavilion but since I stopped I am not sure what is happening. Check it our on Thursdays at 3:00 - 6:00 (or so....depends on bugs)View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Anchorage Review for Sturgeon Bay

Everything is nearby! A short dinghy ride will get you to resturants and a great "health" food store with an amazing selection. Stone Harbor has a great Tiki Bar and more upscale food and clientele. Sonny's Pizza has a marina and great dinghy dock and outdoor bar and live music. The BEST Place to go is WATERFRONT MARYS, it is a little bit of a ride from the free anchorage but worth it for the fish boil! Look for us and come say hi we will be there summer of 2023!!
Saturday mornings you don't want to miss the FARMERS MARKET downtown it is really nice!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
