    This anchorage has a lot of derelict boats taking up space. We gave up and turned around, anchoring out on the far south shore of the access channel in 10 feet.

    This is a fantastic anchorage with plenty of protection. 6' at low tide, soft mud but no issues. Easy access to the free docks and no wakes. The paper factory is a little noisy & smelly but don't miss Georgetown, super great stop, we even scootered to the park at the end and played Pickleball!

    We anchored at near low tide in 10 feet of water and put out 60 feet of chain. Our Rocna anchor held well for the two nights that we stayed. We took our dinghy into one of the two free day docks and enjoyed the sites and restaurants. We saw the Maritime Museum and took the walking tour of many of the 50 gorgeous historic homes. A Winn Dixie store is within 1 mile of downtown. When we pulled up the chain and anchor, it was covered in black pluff mud, which we washed off with our anchor hose. The mess was well worth the visit. We saw an alligator swimming across the channel as we departed. Georgetown is now our favorite stop on the Loop!
