Shark Point Chickee

[Daniel Madrigal]

Hello everyone! I stayed at the Shark Point Chickee this weekend and here are my thoughts. The chickee is VERY well built, might be the best one in the park besides Pearl Bay. Spacious, very solid and new. With that being said, the location is not very good, it is open water so the wind is BRUTAL, especially at night. It was very difficult to sleep and tie the tents down. Also, with all the complaints about the chickee being too high, I agree. It took us about 2 hours to load up the kayaks in the morning due to how high up we were and on top of that you catch even more wind. Due to the height its a great fishing spot because you have a great vantage point and the water is pretty clear. Maybe it will be be used as a spot to stop for lunch or fishing on the way to Alligator Creek Campsite. Just thought I would share! If you want to see pictures or video of the other stuff I saw check out my blog and website. www.aboveallpictures.com

I saw on your pictures that you paddle sit-on top kayaks, I can't imaging a sit-in kayak like mine on those chickees, it might take me half day to load my boat.

Let's just hope when they replace or upgrade the current chickees sites we don't get similar ridiculous high chickees, there must be something we can do to let the Park Service know and hear our complaints.
