This double chickee is set in the middle of a small protected cove. It is far enough from the mangroves and situated so that it usually gets a breeze off the water and has few mosquitoes. The nearby bays offer good tarpon fishing and there is access to freshwater bass fishing as well. Eating bass caught in this area is not advised due to high mercury content.
