10/2025 - We anchored in Bay Springs, however we took a dinghy ride and found ample depth's further back into Cotton Springs. If you're looking for seclusion or something further off the channel, head toward the back of Cotton Springs and find 7'-12'+. *Note: There are underwater stumps on port when heading back into the anchorage. This s/b marked on your charts. If you stay in the center of the channel you s/b fine.
