We hung out and anchored overnight here on Memorial Day. There were a few other boats rafting together. A few families towing tubes and having fun creating wake but didn't bother us at all. Exposed to the south/southwest which is not great if you are SUP boarding but great for a cooling breeze. Great holding here with a delta. Soft mud. Completely glassy in the morning! Saw about 10 dolphins having fun in the late evening!
