Cayo Costa Island, a state park, lies along the western side of Pelican Bay. We sailed down Charlotte Harbor in company of Discovery, an Island Packet42, and anchored in five feet of water off the park dock. Our dinghy took us ashore. A mile walk across the island brought us to the beach where we picked up some nice shells. We walked a long way along the beach listening to the waves and then returned to share dinner on Discovery.
We planned to stay two nights but predicted strong north winds reminded me of water blowing out of Galveston Bay with a north wind. The water blows out of Charlotte Harbor just the same. So we left after one night. Of course, the really strong winds did not materialize. We will return some day.
See our track in yellow on the chart and in purple on Goggle Earth into Pelican Bay. The blue green on the chart just connects waypoints:
