Enamanet Anchorage

Since returning to HAWKEYE mid September, we have had the opportunity to go out to Enamanet Anchorage and spend a few days. It is a beautiful anchorage, or more appropriately, mooring area. The Mieco Beach Yacht Club put in 7 moorings last year. It was done to protect the beautiful reefs so that boats would not be dropping anchors on the reefs and destroying them. On shore, there is a picnic area and a nice palm covered area in case of rain or to get out of the sun. The beach on the lagoon side is very protected from wind and waves and the snorkeling is very good. There is also a small dock, a raft with diving board and slide for the kids. Kayaks are kept up from the tide line and can be used by anyone visiting the park.
We love the peace and beauty of the place. Also, there is good diving with a wrecked boat and airplane that can be seen from the surface in the clear, warm water and, of course, beautiful tropical fish abound as well as lobster, rays, and some of the pelagic fish have been seen also.
Some evenings the cruisers get together for potlucks and music or just socializing which is great fun.
