Observations and Reservations on Isle of Hope Anchorage (Statute Mile 590)
We’ve heard from several other cruisers about crowded conditions, local traffic and party noise making this anchorage less than ideal. But if you’re in a party mood and feeling gregarious, this might be a good weekend stopping point for you.

We anchored here on Friday, 4/23/10. It’s crowded with lots of boats on private moorings and permanent locals anchoring. That didn’t leave much room for transients. We managed to slip into a tight spot just outside the channel markers. Watch your position with the reversing current. There was some tug and barge traffic. Lots of local traffic and noise from shore. Weekend partying, etc. Lots of friendly boaters curious about our ICW experiences and our live aboard cat. Nice spot, but I wouldn’t count of finding room to anchor here. Better bet is to take a slip at the marina.
