    We anchored on the West bank, there is a line of good 8-12 feet depths that we could fit in between a few other boats. We spun throughout the night as we danced over our anchor as the currents battled the winds. We held just fine. We were close to downtown but did not attempt shore access.

    This is one of my favorite anchorages, so peaceful and beautiful. There is no shore access here, just a serene location and well protected.

    Plenty of room to anchor even with many boats here. You can dinghy into No Name Harbor and explore Key Biscayne. The island also has a free shuttle service to bring you to the town for restaurants and grocery. There were a number of boats that blast full speed through the anchorage but overall a nice spot.

    This was a fun yet very busy anchorage. We held no problem with about 5 other boats, not much room for anymore. During the day there was a constant stream of boaters, ferries, and swimmers that we found entertaining and wake was not much of a concern. Easy access to nearby park and some local shops and just a cool spot between the lighthouse and the draw bridge.

    Beautiful and calm anchorage, there were plenty of others anchored here but plenty of room. Depths were 4-5 feet near the channel marker and may not be the best way in/out of this anchorage. We dropped just East of the marker and had 8-10 feet
