Kemp Channel, about 2 miles westward of Niles Channel, is between Summerland Key to the east and Cudjoe Key to the west. This channel is highly used by local boaters. In 1986, a reported controlling depth of 3 feet was in the entrance, and 5 feet was in the channel. The channel is marked by daybeacons to the highway bridge.
U.S. Route 1 highway bridge crossing Kemp Channel, about 2.7 miles above the entrance, has a fixed span with a clearance of 15 feet. A pedestrian bridge in ruins is adjacent to the fixed bridge; caution is advised.
