Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge
Directions
Access to the waters surrounding the islands that make up Matlacha Pass NWR is
by boat only. The islands are not accessible to visitors. Boaters should
consult navigational charts and tide schedules before attempting to visit any
waters surrounding the refuge. Numerous oyster bars and shallow back
bay/estuary waters are difficult to navigate and fragile seagrass beds must
not be damaged. The refuge can be located by boat via the intracoastal
waterway south of Charlotte Harbor between the eastern boundary of Pine Island
and western boundary of Cape Coral. For more information, contact the J.N.
"Ding" Darling NWR, 1 Wildlife Drive, Sanibel, Florida 33957 or call (239)
