• Lat / Lon: N 27° 33.357' / W 082° 44.856'
• Depth: 4 - 5 feet
• Description:

  This little island is beautiful. You access it from the west side, but keep in mind its only 4-5 ft deep. The bottom is sandy which requires you to set your anchor good. There is no shelter from the wind and waves. Keep in mind it is also named Naked Beach because you will see a lot of older people with no clothes. Keeping an open mind, its fun, but I accidently brought the kids and I had to answer a lot of questions.

  NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109

  The owner or operator of a vessel or floating structure may not anchor or moor such that the nearest approach of the anchored or moored vessel or floating structure is:

  1. Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
  2. Within 300 feet of a superyacht repair facility. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "superyacht repair facility" means a facility that services or repairs a yacht with a water line of 120 feet or more in length; or
  3. Within 100 feet outward from the marked boundary of a public mooring field or a lesser distance if approved by the commission upon request of a local government within which the mooring field is located. The commission may adopt rules to implement this subparagraph.
