Beautiful area with good protection from the south and east. We anchored in about 8 feet of water. The bottom is a combo of sand, mud, and weeds making holding a bit tricky. Once the anchor dug in, we had a good night's sleep. We didn't go ashore but it looked like we could have. Plenty of room to swing.
