A six and half mile paddle from the visitor center. We had 15 - 20 mph headwinds heading out which was BRUTAL, but the way back was WICKED breezy. The park provides maps and I got 3 bars of AT&T cell service the whole way. It was COVERED in bird poop when we got there so we had to lug a bunch of bags of water up to wash it off (use an empty drybag).

One of the wildest places I've camped. Felt super remote, only a few boats went by the 2 days we were there. Good fishing at the key, around the chickee, and for much of the paddle out. Caught a nice red on our float back to the mainland. Saw sharks and lot of seabirds.

The chickee had a clean port-o-potty and space for a tent on each side.

Good stopover if you're headed to Rabbit Key where you can also camp (a ranger stopped by and told us the Key was flooded so we didn't make it out.)
