Singer Island Anchorage (Statute Mile 1017)
The anchorage described by Captain Richter below lies east of the AICW, just north of the high-rise Blue Heron Blvd. bridge. If it were not for the sunken derelicts and “live aboard hulks” which litter these waters, this spot would undoubtedly be one of the most popular anchorages in Southeastern Florida. As it is, cautious skippers can still find a place to drop the hook amid the other vessels here (floating and otherwise).
Once the hook is down, it a quick dinghy trip south of Foster Park. You can land the dink here at the public launching ramps, and take your pet ashore to stretch their legs.
Another easy beach-stop anchorage is Singer Island, just north of the Blue Heron Blvd 65′ bridge in Riveria Beach, a few miles north of West Palm Beach. Usually 6-12 local boats anchored just off Phil Foster Park. 3 block walk to a very nice ocean beach, or try the ICW beach under the bridge in the park.
