Minimum Approach Depth: 6 ft. Depth In Anchorage: 8 - 10 ft. Lat 26° 36.8' N Lon 82° 13.3' W (use Chart 11427 for navigation) Off mile 18.6 on the ICW: 8.2 statute miles from Roosevelt Channel / Tween Waters, 3.8 statute miles to Useppa/Cabbage Key.

The northern route, to Cayo Costa, is more popular. Leave the ICW just north of marker 51 and curl back around to the west on a heading of about 270 to avoid the charted shoal southwest of 51 As the eastern banks of Cayo Costa come abeam, consider dropping anchor before entering the interior of Captiva Pass. Minimum 8 foot depths run to within 50 yards of shore.    In spite of its popularity, this anchorage does not provide sufficient shelter in heavy weather; tidal currents are strong at all times. Set the hook firmly before dinghying ashore.
