Carrabelle Harbor is at the entrance to Carrabelle River which flows into St. George Sound. The principal entrance to the harbor and the sound is through East Pass between Dog and St. George Islands, about 31 miles SW of St. Marks Light. Carrabelle is a small town at the mouth of the river that has several seafood processing plants. The town is on the main coastal highway, U.S. Route 98, and a good road leads to the interior.
The Carrabelle River flows into St. George Sound 5 miles NNE of East Pass. River currents are rather strong on the ebb. A fixed highway bridge with a clearance of 40 feet crosses the river about 0.5 mile above the turning basin. An overhead power cable with a clearance of 50 feet is about 2 miles above the bridge.
A dredged channel leads from the Gulf of Mexico for 3 miles through East Pass to a point W of Dog Island, thence for 5 miles through St. George Sound and Carrabelle River to a turning basin at the town of Carrabelle. From the turning basin, the channel continues for 3 miles to the confluence of New and Crooked Rivers.
The channels are marked by a lighted range, lights, lighted and unlighted buoys, and daybeacons. A 022°24′ lighted range leads through the harbor channel.
