Blackburn Bay

• Lat / Lon: N 27° 09.239' / W 082° 28.852'
• Depth: 6 feet
• Description:

  One of very few places to anchor near Venice. We saw 8 ft at high tide halfway between channel and the west shore. A lot of wakes in the day but they are all gone by dusk. Nice houses but little else to see.

  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.
