This sandbar is located on the northeast side of Peanut Island. Is is across from the Cannonsport & Sailfish Marinas.
As you can see, it is a favorite during low tides. Watch out for busy boat traffic in the channel immediately next to the sandbar.
Nearby Sailfish Marina has a nice store if you need drinks, chips or a sandwich. |

This sandbar is directly north of Peanut Island. Be careful where you anchor!
The area looks fine at high tide. At low tide sandbars surface throughout this area. |

NORTHERN SANDBAR: The area north of Peanut Island and South of the Blue Heron Bridge is very shallow. It's a popular sandbar during low tide.
Local knowledge: The sandbar is huge. You can walk from Peanut Island north to within a few hundred feet of the Blue Heron Bridge. The sandbar is made up of clean white sand. There is a large submerged dingy that can be seen at lowest tide. I have found conchs while snorkeling here. Watch the current� people have drowned here after getting caught in it. Obviously, watch for shallow water on approach. |

Local knowledge: The north and west sides are where the serious party people go. While snorkeling I have retrieved countless rusty beer bottle caps from the shallow sandy bottom. I have even picked up a syringe cover. Always wear flip-flops or swim shoes to avoid being hurt by these party discards. Also note that this area is not always "G-rated." Some of the music lyrics, skimpy swimsuits and behavior can get a litte crude. Families may be more comfortable near Peanut Island's east side dock or on the quiet south side. |
