Redbelly, that's a tough question to answer. The rocks start just a little west of Stony Bayou and go as far east as you want to go. I'm not very familiar with the water east of the mouth of the Aucilla, but you can find plenty of rocks from Stony to The Aucilla.

Sad.....but TRUE! :smt010

I don't even consider those that just bust my prop up....minor
encounters....but those that bust holes in my boat and tear up my
whole lower unit....now that kicks it up a notch! :o

Here are some views of rocks I've been able to GPS in the near Rock Garden. Definitely not all inclusive. If anyone wants higher quality images PM me with your e mail address.

Do a search for rock garden posts, one has page after page of GPS coordinates. I have them all in my GPS.

You can run around most of them. Stay outside the stake line and you'll be ok for the most part. Look on the charts section of this forum. There is a file that will give you the coordinates for the major rocks.
