Anybody have info on spending some time in this area? Anchoring? Thanks

Anchoring in Coral harbor is a bit tight due to all the private moorings.
So your best bet is to anchor right out side the moorings. Sometimes it can be a little bumpy if there is an East wind. From there your a short dinghy ride to the Skinny Legs dinghy dock.
If you just want to spend a quiet day at anchor to snorkel and do a Bar B Q
I suggest you anchor in Round Bay.
Round Bay is the first bay on your right (North) as you enter Coral harbor.
It's very calm and a good spot for snorkeling and just relaxing on a small beach. (All the beaches in the VI are public up to a few feet from the high water mark.
I don't suggest anchoring in Round bay if you intend to take your dinghy to Skinny Legs dock because on the way back to your boat it will be Slow Bumpy and usually very Wet.

Last time I was there they had cleared alot of boats out. There is a small area of anchored boats on the east side with plenty of room to anchor.
If youre going to just check it out, you can take the bus from cruz bay for $1 per person one way. It's an experience.
