1.5 statute miles from Hooker Pt. to red #20 at Palmetto / Bradenton. There are two anchorages, one on each side of the Manatee River. (See information for the Palmetto anchorage.)
In southerly breezes, anchor off the channel south of red marker 22 in a good sized area with 6-8 feet of water just off the Twin Dolphin Marina located at the west end of a two-mile-long riverfront park.
There is no easy access to facilities, but the Bradenton library is across the street, downtown Bradenton is another block inland and a few blocks east are the Southwest Florida Museum of Natural History and Bishop Planetarium.
