FL: Virgina Key, south side

Location: FL: Virginia Key
Lat / Lon: N 25° 44.501' / W 080° 10.559'
Depth: 10 ft
Tide: 2.5 ft
Description:
When Marine Stadium anchorage is not available due to the Miami Boat show in February, then this anchorage is a good alternative if winds are out of the north and east. It would not be good for winds out of the south. There is lots of room to anchor and easy shore access for pets.
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.
