The Neighborhood:

Tortuga Bay sits on Lake Anna's private (warm) side in Bumpass, the quieter, more residential half of the lake. The private side has no public marinas or ramps, so the water stays calm, warm, and uncrowded, with an extended swimming and fishing season. Mornings are glassy and the shallow cove is ideal for little swimmers, while anglers love this side for bass, crappie, and catfish right off the dock.



Nearby you will find lakeside dining at The Cove and Tim's at Lake Anna, plus Vito's, Asian Cafe, and Tavern on the Rail. Sip and sample at Lake Anna Winery, Cooling Pond Brewery, Coyote Hole Ciderworks, and Lake Anna Taphouse. Families love Lake Anna State Park, the Boardwalk's mini golf, and Moo Thru ice cream. Marinas at Anna Point, Dukes Creek, and Sturgeon Creek offer gas, rentals, and bait. Fredericksburg is about 35 minutes, and Richmond, Charlottesville, and Culpeper are each about an hour away.



Getting Around:

Lake Anna is roughly halfway between Richmond and Charlottesville and about 1.5 to 2 hours from the Washington, D.C. metro area. A car is recommended for your stay to reach the lake and explore local dining, wineries, and marinas. Detailed driving directions to Tortuga Bay are provided in your guest portal before arrival.
