There is "No Swimming!" at the Pass but you can sit on the edge of the water and get wet. There is currently dredging going on but it's still a beautiful area.

Beautiful for relaxing and watching boats pass through. Not a good place to swim. You are not allowed in the water and the current is strong. Annoying and sad how many times Officers or Life Guards have to drive through to tell people... that can't read the giant signs that say Do Not Enter the Water... to get out of the water! Today I spent 2 hours removing fishing line that is wrapped all over the mangroves on the east side of the bridge. We saw 2 birds with some wrapped on their feet too! If u are going to fish please be responsible for your trash ESPECIALLY fishing line! Clearly maintenance doesn't have time to remove it so unless someone cares enough to remove the endless amounts of fishing line it will continue to harm wildlife. Such a sad thing to see. Oh and if you wonder why it smells so bad under the bridge the mystery has been solved....drug users hang in the mangroves under the bridge all night vomiting and urinating and sometimes are still sleeping in there when people start arriving in the morning to fish. So please beware of your surroundings and your belongings if arriving early. They seem to clear out as they wake up but leave lots of trash and say crazy stuff.

Nice beach to stop and watch dolphins and walk. Often to rough to go into the water. If biking, nice place to park and take the bike out.

great fishing both from the bridge and under the bridge. Coquina Beach there is pretty good for shelling especially the south beach near the point.

No. If you can get over to Jew Fish Island, that would be the best place for your dog.
