Plummers Cove indents the eastern banks of the St. Johns River, immediately north of the I-295 high-rise bridge. It is a good spot to drop the hook overnight in calm weather, or with winds wafting from the east, northeast or southeast.

We have used this anchorage for YEARS as wonderful weekend spot. The holding is great- sand under mud. Wind protection is good. No current. Few wakes. Scenery is nice- bridge is pretty at night. Can be noisy from the bridge traffic if the wind is from the south. Take the dinghy north around the point into Goodbys’ Creek to dock at Hooters and access local stores.

We agree with this comment on Plummers’ Cove. We anchored there on the 4th of July, and had an amazing view of FOUR fireworks shows. Great place to drop the hook and have supper.
Traffic passing under the Buckman Bridge was dicey, as many boaters returning south from downtown Jacksonville were lacking in courtesy.
