Stopped for an evening while making our way North. We were the only boat anchored. Holding was great. Minimal traffic after sundown which meant no wake. Very quiet. Would stay again.

This Anchorage is in front of large homes in an expensive Jupiter golf community with docks and quite a few large motor yachts. There's room for probably 3 god sized boats. We were the only ones here and anchored in 10-12 feet of water. Winds were 15+ out of the NE and this area provided good protection. Anchor as far north as possible. You'll see a minimal wake sign to the south. Many boats respect this zone but quite a few 'start or end early' and push wakes into the area. And there was blaring loud music by several rude boaters even at night. And some of the land based neighbors had what sounded like a domestic battle for a couple hours. Live reality TV! The 'blue wall' is a waterfall infinity pool. We didn't see anything special at night. At least you didn't pay $5mm for one of the waterfront homes - rent here is free lol. Verizon and Google Fi was great. And we did pick up free FloridaWifi. This is an ok overnight stop for winds from North/NE, otherwise we much prefer the Anchorage in Hobe Sound next to Jonathan Dickerson State Park.
