Wednesday will be sunny unlike the rest of the week so come out and get some sun!
Wife and I hiked about 2 miles in and never found it. Are there special directions we don't know?
Anyone know of tarpon fishing spots this far north? Are they even around in any substantial numbers in the big bend?

I like to paddle and sail around the area -- mostly at the St Marks light house. I was previously sailing a canoe that I modified and added a dinghy sail to. The canoe got a bit too banged up over the years, so I recently got a 14 foot kayak and added a sail made for kayaks to it. I've been doing this for years and it's very enjoyable. Less boring than just canoeing or kayaking and more exercise than just sailing.
Canoe and kayak sailing is great in this area. They're the perfect boats to sail because they're generally durable enough to handle the many oyster shoals and rocks and they can navigate the shallows easily. There's usually a decent breeze at the lighthouse and sometimes there's even too much wind to sail, even with your sail reefed. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more in this area (it's more common up north and in England). It's also easy to sneak up on wildlife, which has it's upsides and downsides.
The great thing about it is that it doesn't have to cost much. There are always canoes and kayaks for sail on Craigslist and you can often even find sailboat parts like masts and sails there too. There are also places that sell kits to mount sails on canoes and kayaks or you can make your own mounts.
If anyone would like to try it out, I'll be at the St Marks Lighthouse late Saturday and Sunday afternoon (barring thunderstorms). Just message me. I'm interested in promoting canoe and kayak sailing, doing day trips for exercise and in taking extended trips along the coast.
Preferably early before it gets too hot. Up for kayaking or fishing or something fun.
Helmet required all skill level welcomed no aero bars please. Pm me with any questions
