Dock wisdom

The Cumberland Island ferry leaves from St. Marys, Georgia, not Fernandina, and 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 local tours leave from the Fernandina Beach Marina by the shrimp docks on the river; the Cumberland ferry is the exception.

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