about our waters
Overview of Cudjoe Gardens Marina and Sunrise Beach
The marina has gas, supplies and a ramp. They will also store your trailer, or boat on trailer, for a small fee. We recommend keeping your trailer here during your stay to maximize space under your home for vehicles, entertaining or just relaxing.
Our Marina
For maximum depth, stay between the pairs of white PVC pipes and tilt motor for first 150 meters into the bay at low tides. Even at lowest tide a 25 foot boat can easily navigate the waters until reaching the 4 to 8 foot depths of the majority of Cudjoe Bay. The orange buoy marks a hard rock corner. You should stay between this buoy and the dock at all times. (North is to the right here.)
Sneaky path to Kemp Channel
To reach the bay side of the Keys you need to pass under the Kemp Channel bridge. If you have a good GPS chart, there is an unmarked route to get there without navigating out to the deep water channel. There are some one foot areas of MOSTLY sand in the Bay, but the route is there.
