An update on Joe's Sound, March 2025: Still excellent holding in deep sand from the cut NE for a couple hundred yards. Entering the cut be aware of a narrow, sand bump just inside. A 6' draft monohull entered late February by dog-legging to starboard to avoid the soft bar, then swung around to Port to anchor further up. Eight boats spread out comfortably as of 3/11/25 riding out the blustery 22+ knot nor'wester in flat calm conditions.

There is a wonderful, local bar (with some food) overlooking new bridge to Newton's Cay called "The Busted Bridge." A very reasonable and scenic hike from the anchorage in Calabash Bay. Intrepid explorers with very shallow draft dinghies can also get there via a mangrove lined, picturesque channel entered via the cut just north of the Columbus monument.

Sounds delightful! Anyone know if the place is open as of spring 2021 ?
