There is a small dock over Little Lagoon, perfect for fishing, crabbing, and for young kids to tool around and chase hermit crabs. About 3 blocks west of us, you'll find the Pass, where Little Lagoon connects to the Gulf. This is a perfect fishing area, with shallow waters and then a drop-off. You can wade-fish for speckled trout, flounder, redfish, etc. The island beach area that forms in the pass is wonderful for skimming, and for toddlers/non-swimmers since it is shallow, protected swimming waters.
