Anchorage in the southern end of Wolf Bay, off the Intracoastal Waterway near Orange Beach, Alabama. Mud bottom, sheltered from east through south-east.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reach the bay from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and feel your way south into shoaling water. The mud bottom holds well but the anchorage is exposed to winds from the east and south, so it suits a settled forecast or a northerly blow.

Practical

Hudson Marina lies 0.9 nautical miles to the south-east with fuel, charters and rentals. Romar Marina is 1.2 nautical miles to the south. Both give quick access to the shops and restaurants of Orange Beach.
