joethecobbler is on a distinguished road
Another over-looked location on the ICW is Daytona Beach. Great calm anchor spot south of the Seabreeze Bridge (just north of Main Street Bridge), it's a great spot to anchor because it's a no-wake zone (calm) also there is a public ramp on the East side under the bridge and you can walk up seabreeze Ave to stores/rest. on seabreaze. On the west side is a laundry and gas station,also the public transportation (bus) passes by each hour and for $1.50 will take you anywhere you need to go. If your into nightlife it's all within walking distance or a dinghy ride.
If you pass by during the daytime there is a t-dock ( 75'-100' of dock >10' depth) just south of the Main Str. bridge on the west side where you can dock for free during the day and walk your pets or walk to Beach Sreet to rest/bars etc. There are no signs restricting overnight dockage , but the Manatee Island park that the dock extends from closes at sundown and they lock the entrance gates (keeps the bums out).
I don't know why the City of Daytona Beach doesn't promote itself more to the bi-annual boater migration.
