Pine Island Sound, between Pine Island and the outer islands, is the main thoroughfare between San Carlos Bay and Charlotte Harbor. Numerous small islands, keys, for the most part uninhabited, and shoals abound in the sound. Some of the islands are part of the Pine Island National Wildlife Refuge. The waterway through the sound is marked by lights and daybeacons.
Pine Island, between Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass, is about 13 miles long and about 2.5 miles wide at the N end. There are a number of seasonal and year-round settlements on the island.
St. James City is a small fishing and residential community on the S end of Pine Island, opposite Mile 4.0.
