Dock wisdom

·

The Cumberland Island ferry books out weeks ahead in spring and fall - reserve early.

·

Morning dolphin and eco trips get the calmest inlets and the most active wildlife.

·

Most boats leave from the Fernandina Beach Marina by the shrimp docks on the river.

·

Fall mullet run brings tarpon, redfish and jacks into the inlets - the best inshore bite of the year.
