Pensacola Beach

• Location: Santa Rosa Sound
• Lat / Lon: N 30° 21.300' / W 087° 02.257'
• Depth: 8+
• Description:

  Plenty of water and room for multiple boats. Bottom is hard and anchor slid some but dug in when I backed down. The anchorage is not well protected and it should be used in light winds. Easy access to shore and a short walk over the dunes to the beach.

  NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109

  The owner or operator of a vessel or floating structure may not anchor or moor such that the nearest approach of the anchored or moored vessel or floating structure is:

  1. Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
  2. Within 300 feet of a superyacht repair facility. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "superyacht repair facility" means a facility that services or repairs a yacht with a water line of 120 feet or more in length; or
  3. Within 100 feet outward from the marked boundary of a public mooring field or a lesser distance if approved by the commission upon request of a local government within which the mooring field is located. The commission may adopt rules to implement this subparagraph.
