Very nice & quiet anchorage. We stayed for 4 nights but there is no easy dinghy dock access. The nearby sandbar is perfect for dogs to go to the bathroom but not a great option if you need to run errands. Completely sand bottom but anchor held well even through a small storm. There is a bit of a current though to be aware of. Stay dead center when coming in from the north (don't attempt to come in from the south side)

A good overnight stop, fairly quiet and we'll protected from east & west winds. The current swings you 180, but it isn't especially strong. Holding was rock steady. If you want to go into town, I'd pick an anchorage closer in.
