Good Suggestions for Manatee Pocket Anchorages, off the AICW Statute Mile 988
Manatee Pocket is off the St. Lucie River between the AICW intersection and downtown Stuart, FL. There are two official anchoring areas, one on the waters of the large bay indenting the western banks of Manatee Pocket and another smaller area just to the south. See /?p=107612 for charts showing the official anchoring areas. And for a webcam shot of Manatee Pocket, see /?p=124827.
Gas prices are cheaper the deeper you go into the pocket. Christmas week 2014.
Great breakfast place whistle stop on the main street (A1A? I don’t recall, ask anyone) short walk from the end of the canal by Manatee Island bar and grill, tiki hut style bar (fun place).
Twisted Tuna restaurant, great, really great sushi, at the head of the same canal, behind the second anchorage-deeper into the pocket.
The Grove for your eye opener hole in the wall place.
Other restaurants we did not have enough time in the pocket.
