KEY BISCAYNE RECREATION - BOATING AROUND STILTSVILLE 2

 
The green lines to the left of Key Biscayne would be the way that
you would be travelling if you were coming from North of Key
Biscayne either on the windward side of the island or the leeward
side of the island.
To go to Boca Chita, you would simply continue South keeping the
Channel Markers to the port side of your vessel so that you will 
not find the flats, nor will you hit the very very famous 'featherbed'
sandbar.  Many boats have waited quite a few hours for the tide
to change before being able to get off of featherbead.  Featherbed
flats are located just south of this informational map.  Of course 
this should in no way be used for Navigational purposes, it only 
gives you the idea of where Stiltsville is located in relation to 
Key Biscayne and to the mainland.  On top of that, the pink shows
the sand flats with the blue running through them and out to the 
Atlantic Ocean.  In the blue area of the map it can be 12 feet deep
and the pink areas, 2 inches deep.  A very substancial difference.
Navigating through the finger channels of Stiltsville can bea a wonderful experience as the water is typically protected and glass calm.
Fishing boat coming home from offshore chooses the Stiltsville finger channels as the way home.  Go the wrong way to the lighthouse..
and you will end up walking.  You can see from the photo above the distinctive finger channels.  To see more pics of stiltsville larger, click here.
