Mushy, Rocky and Sharky - Why bother paying a fee to have your feet slashed open by barnacle encrusted rocks that are everywhere. I go to this spot to fish for hammerheads and black tips because they love the pass there. All I've ever seen here besides rocks and sharks is mushy crap waves. Save some dough, time, & your flesh & surf further South. Much better waves any where but here.

Honeymoon Island - Ya I thought about posting this spot a little while ago but I figured that it was better off not to be posted, but I guess it doesn't really matter. Its a good spot with a nice local vibe, so if you visit here come ready to share waves and show respect.

Honeymoon Island surf? - You have to get a good blow on before th surf even gets up to a reasonable level. Lots of S'Rays in the shallows so look out. Best during offshore hurricane. Locals are cool but show respect like anywhere else. Sharks, barnacles, rocks. Nice long ride (for West Coast Florida) if you catch it right. Good fishing otherwise.
