Walked along the beach to the north side of South Seas Resort and we finally took a boat out and sailed around Red Fish Pass...saw an amazing wedding that day as well as a school of dolphins!

Great fishing in the pass from Tarpon to snapper. Not much, actually any, beach here, but if you have a boat don't miss it

Beautiful view between the islands. Very strong current so I do not recommend swimming especially with small children in this area. Great place to fish but be aware that because of the current you will need to be moving your boat constantly to stay in the pass.
