  Sea Kayak Florida Bay Everglades Cape Sable Florida
Florida Bay lies between the Florida Keys to the south and east and the Everglades to the north.
I was now on the edge of Florida Bay, looking south to the scattered mangrove trees, beyond which and over the horizon lay the arc of the Florida Keys stretching out a porous barrier to the bold current of the Gulf Stream and on to the Atlantic Ocean.
The southern shore of Cape Sable slopes gradually in to the beach.

 Gulf of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gulf's eastern, north, and northwestern shores lie within the United States of America (specifically, the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas); its southwestern and southern shores lie within Mexico (specifically, the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo); on the southeast it is bordered by Cuba.
It connects with the Atlantic Ocean via the Florida Straits between the U.S. and Cuba, and with the Caribbean Sea via the Yucatan Channel between Mexico and Cuba.
Also, there are frequent "red tide" algae blooms that kill fish and marine mammals and cause respiratory problems in humans and some domestic animals when the blooms reach close to shore.

Cape Sable, Florida is the southernmost point of the US mainland and mainland Florida.
The cape is a peninsula issuing from the southeastern part of the Florida mainland, running west and curving around to the north, reaching Ponce de Leon Bay, at the mouth of the Shark River.
There are three prominent points on the cape, East Cape, which is the actual southernmost point of the Florida and United States mainland, Middle Cape, also known as Palm Point, and Northwest Cape.

 MSN Encarta - Everglades
Formed by thousands of years of overflow from Lake Okeechobee after heavy rains, the Everglades extends southwestward from the lake to the shores of Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
The marsh lies in a shallow basin of limestone, tilted slightly to the southwest, that begins a few kilometers north of Cape Sable at the southernmost tip of the Florida peninsula and stretches northward to Lake Okeechobee.
The lower-lying floodplain that surrounds these hammocks becomes a swamp or is covered by water during the long summer rainy season, which is usually marked by heavy downpours associated with daily thunderstorms.

 Floripedia: Cape Sable, Florida
Aside from this, all the Cape Sable peninsula is a wild, tangled, pathless mangrove swamp, extending back a number of miles to the open saw-grass marshes of the Everglades.
The first lake we visited after an arduous tramp over mangrove roots and through the jungle was a mile long, with densely wooded shores, a mere layer of water over a bed of mud of the consistency of molasses.
Along the "Capes" there are no mudflats, but deep water close in to the fine beach of shell-sand.

History, both human and natural, is a primary focus of the book, for the story of the Florida is much the story of interaction with the land and the waters around it, and attempts to explore it, conquer it, only ultimately to coexist with and preserve it.
