Launch

Parking

Fort Matanzas lot, free

Beautiful inlet with sandbars. Protected from ocean swell but tide-sensitive.

Hazards

Ebb current through the inlet mouth — moderate but manageable

Shallow sandbars shift seasonally

Oyster beds near shoreline — wear booties

Best Conditions

Incoming tide, light wind. Protected pools form behind sandbars at mid-tide. Beautiful flat water.

Local Tips

Park at Fort Matanzas lot (free, National Park Service). Short walk to the water. Sandbars create natural flat water pools — find them at mid to high tide.
