Report on Punta Blanco Inner Anchorage, Western Florida ICW Statute Mile 23
Punta Blanco inner anchorage will be found on the charted bubble of deep water virtually surrounded by Punta Blanco.
If you are looking for a secluded anchorage to hide out from a strong wind, this is the spot! Getting in with a chartplotter isn’t nearly as daunting as it used to be without one- just watch the depth sounder. There is a small sand `beach’ where you can land with the dinghy. We didn’t, but a local boat pulled right up on the sand and the folks went exploring. A long dinghy ride from the state park though.

We can attest from a dinghy visit and speaking with those anchored there, that is a nice spot, with a few caveats. If a large boat gets there first and takes up the middle of the deep water, it is tough for another larger boat to fit.
Second, as the description states, it is VERY easy to wind up aground, as we did. It is not always possible to read the water depth visually.
