Whiteside Creek

• Location: Capers Inlet
• Mile Marker: Mile 451.5
• Lat / Lon: N 32° 52.700' / W 079° 42.867'
• Depth: 10-30 Feet
• Description: Because of its proximity to Capers Island State Park, this is a favorite overnight anchorage for skippers who are ready for an ocean swim or a hike along the beach. Whiteside Creek can get extremely congested during the spring and fall. It is too deep for anchoring at the bend, and shoals unpredictably upriver of the bend. Depths are generally shallower before the bend than shown on charts

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.

Take the dinghy across the ICW three-quarters of a mile to the park dock at the western tip of Capers Island. 
The trail from the dock leads to the ocean beach after passing an impounded lake, which is home to numerous alligators.
