The ICW channel thru there is good but narrow. Stay as close to the east side green buoys as possible because the strong current (and wind) coming in from the inlet often pushes hard east to west, and it is easy to wander into shallow water on the west side of the ICW. Also the sand bar and channel is very crowded on weekends. Be careful.
