    Great little anchorage. We took the Dingy across the ICW so my wife could get her morning run. It was blowing 25 from the north when we anchored at we were very comfortable.

    After reading the reviews we stopped at Taha for fuel and pump out. They absolutely go the extra mile. They hand you an oil absorption towel to hold over the vent, cleaner and a water hose after the pump out, lots of attention at the dock.
    Highly recommended

    Use caution. when cruising the Gulf side ICW north of the seven mile bridge. the lobster traps are thick in the ICW and many have over 20' of floating line before the ball

    A must stop on Florida's left coast. Grab lunch, cheese burger in paradise of course
    chase a turtle. It's good cardio after siting on the trawler all day. You may see Randy Wayne White " Doc Ford".

    the marina is a dive, but the Country Grill restaurant was incredibly good . I wish they had their own dock
