Northwest Cape Campsite

This beach campsite is an open shelly sand beach with no shade. It is exposed to sun and wind in all directions. Mosquitoes and sandflies may be a present year round. Raccoons are in the area; store food and water in appropriately (hard sided containers). Beautiful sunsets and a sense of wilderness solitude will reward campers here, at this least frequented of the three Cape Sable beaches.

Access - Accessible by powerboat, canoe or kayak via Florida Bay and the Gulf of America. The site is open; canoes and kayaks should be pulled far onto shore in case the wind picks up. Powerboats should anchor from the bow in unfavorable weather to avoid swamping.
