This guide leaves nothing unexplored in the waters from Flamingo to the Big Bend. Thoroughly researched and updated firsthand by the author, this is the most detailed source available on the facilities and waters of the Sunshine State's western shore. It contains current information on navigation data, anchorage locales along the entire shore, marinas, shoreside dining, and other attractions. As in his previous books, Claiborne Young furnishes dozens of invaluable maps, photographs, and chart references. Also included are specific way points for anchorages and marinas, as well as ratings for transient docking fees. Intriguing historical profiles and coastal folklore give visitors the flavor of the region. Sections on unsafe areas and shoals help cruisers avoid dangerous waters.
