We anchore on the central waters of Long Key Bight, which lies west of Channel Five's flashing daybeacon #2. Don't think about approaching any of the bight's shore-lines. They are uniformly shoal. Clearly, this is not an anchorage for deep-draft vessels, it's not for craft with more than 4 feet.
Minimum depth: 4 to 4 ½ feet.
