Big Carlos Pass, marked by lighted and unlighted buoys, is about 1.5 miles NW of New Pass. A bridge with a 50-foot bascule span crossing Big Carlos Pass from Carlos Point to Black Island has a clearance of 23 feet at the center.
High-rise buildings on the S end of Estero Island are prominent when approaching Big Carlos Pass from the Gulf. Other high-rise and/or lower condominiums dot the Gulf side of Estero Island at its N end.
About 1 mile NW of the bridge, a 2,100-foot privately dredged cut, 150 feet wide with several canals branching off from it, leads to a basin 500 feet long and 200 feet wide.
