NOTE: Great care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of these maps. These maps are for visual reference only, please use NOAA Charts for navigation. Paddlers should have all proper attire, gear, safety equipment and check conditions before departure. Don't forget to wear your PFD and leave a float plan with an estimated time of return. There are inherent dangers in any kayak paddling trip.
There are special hazards along Florida's coastal areas due to shifting tides, changing wind, weather, currents, wave action, shallow waters, and treacherous bottoms with soft mud, rock piles and oyster bars. It is up to the paddler to be aware of these dangers, to accept and be prepared for the risks involved, and to be certain that the paddler has the skills necessary to safely paddle in such waters
