We went to plan B-Little Marler Park on the south side of the GICW. I called to ask permission to dock overnight and was passed from the police to the Sheriff to the Parks Department. After much explaining we were reluctantly granted "permission" to stay the night. As previous reviewers have said the "dock" has no cleats and you need to get creative to tie up. The basin by the park is well protected from most any wind and wave. But, I personally would pass this one by next time.
There is a terrific restaurant next door--The Gulf. They have a long face dock to dock and dine and the manager said we could tie up overnight there, though it seemed an unusual request to her.
So, bottom line for FWB--find an anchorage or marina.
