Broad Cumberland Sound flows south from Georgia and intersects the St. Marys and Jolly rivers near the Florida border at marker #29. The sound itself is wide and unprotected, with no facilities. Winds over 15 knots can make for a dusty crossing, but on days of light breezes, the Cumberland makes a pleasant introduction to Floridian waters. The sound is traversed by a well-marked channel that splits between markers #31 and #29. The ICW continues on to the south while the eastward passage leads to St. Marys Inlet.
