Nearby Spots
Overview
This spot is a bit of a local secret - even many long-time Pensacola residents don’t know it exists, tucked away and only accessible by water. We can't list any particular address for launching at, but if you can find your way here, it’s absolutely worth the trip.
Fort McRee sits in a designated no-wake zone, which means smooth, glassy water that’s perfect for eFoiling once you’re inside. Just be aware that outside the entrance near Sand Island, boaters are allowed to make wake - and it can get choppy fast, especially during busy weekends.
Despite the occasional swell, the vibe here is friendly and laid-back. Boaters are usually welcoming - and often fascinated by eFoils - so expect to draw a bit of curious attention.
And one last tip: keep an eye out for those well-off cougars cruising the waters on yachts… you’ve been warned!

Heavy Boat Traffic
Expect boatloads of boat traffic during weekend days here, especially during the summer months. Everyone is usually friendly and considerate enough, so although you might feel a bit crowded at times, you'll be able to navigate through it well.
Recommended Rider Experience
Riders should be experienced with handling minimal wake, not falling off near passing boats and spotting shallow areas.
