Florida Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) on the Florida Gold Coast

A Visitors Guide to the Florida Intracoastal Waterway

Florida Intracoastal Waterway

on the Florida Gold Coast

The creation of the Intracoastal Waterway was authorized by the United States Congress in 1919. It is maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The ICW runs 1,095 miles from Norfolk, Virginia, to Miami, Florida. The Sunshine State has about 380 miles of waterway along the entire eastern coastline.

Titusville, Cocoa, Melbourne, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Jupiter, and Singer Island all make for great stops in this interesting part of Florida. Each city has its own unique offerings of attractions, restaurants, and activities.

Southern Florida start with the Palm Beaches. From the water, boaters will enjoy a special view of huge homes, private docks, some large yachts, and a large number of marinas with every service available. West Palm Beach has an international airport available. Other places such as Delray Beach and Hollywood are also awaiting your arrival.

Although the Intracoastal Waterway has a good deal of commercial activity such as barges hauling products and materials, it is also used extensively by recreational boaters. Snowbirds like the waterway to move south in the winter and go back north in the summer. Many visitors see Florida on land but the ideal way is by boat if you have the time to enjoy the scenery.
