Naked Island A.k.a. Passage Key, F
Passage Key, Florida (a.k.a. Naked Island) is a sandbar located between St. Petersburg, Florida and Anna Maria Island, Florida. When the tide is out, there is a beautiful, white sandy beach island in the middle of the Bay! Boaters, clothed and unclothed, anchor near the island and wade in to socialize and visit with other like minded folks. There are typically 200+ boats any given weekend! Come...

Passage Key access by Jet Ski
Return to DiscussionsIt would be very doable by jetski. I wouldn't try to swim it unless you are olympic level; but mainly because of the current at bean point (north end of Anna Maria Island). Once you are say a hundred yards out you have passed the tidal channel which is about 25-30 feet deep and then the bar that forms Passage Key actually starts up and it is chest deep and climbing from there on in.
I take small sailboats out pretty routinely and it is a pretty easy sail in something like the Windrider for up to 3-4 people.
You could approach from Egmont as well but it is a little longer run. Probably wouldn't do a jetski alone but if you had a group of them in case one stalled out or something, even that would be doable.
