Just northeast of flashing red marker 14 lies one of two special anchorages on this part of the Gulf coast. It lies in 5-9 feet of water west of the docks of the Bradenton Yacht Cub. Fore and aft moors are permitted. No anchor light is required.   The shores are privately owned. At the point stands a full service boat yard. East of the yacht club, a creek cuts through to Terra Ceia Bay, forming Snead Island, and offers a great opportunity for dinghy exploration.   There is good protection from northerly winds, and exceptional natural beauty. Birds and fish abound.
