Breaking off the Saint Johns River at Chicopit Bay, Pablo Creek takes the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) boater south from ICW Mile 741, past Jacksonville Beach, and on to the Tolomato River at ICW Mile 760.

Use NOAA Chart 11489.

Flashing green “1,” off the Mile Point Lower Range on the Saint Johns River starts you in toward Chicopit Bay, and then onto Pablo Creek to the south. After clearing flashing green “1,” a series of green daybeacons (visible on the image above) mark a narrow channel, which has very shallow depths on either side –make sure to honor them religiously.
