Tropical Point

Saint James City, US

Description

This is a nice little put-in spot. It is also a decent spot to kayak fish. If you go south, to the first channel (marker 24,a0 you can enter and then continue south through St. Jude's Creek.

If you go north of Tropical Point, you will pass the power lines and more good fishing spots. I hooked a decent size shark there while tarpon fishing. The site has a port-a-potty. Trailer parking is not allowed. If you must trailer, you can put in just east of the Tropical Point Park at the ramp at the end of the canal to reach the same water. You can park a block away on Sable Ave except where posted.

The advantage of this park is that it is the only realistic put-in to paddle this area of the bay. Matlacha Park is several miles north and there is no other public ramp on this side of Pine Island, south of the center of the island.
