Baker's Haulover Inlet
Baker's Haulover Inlet, more commonly known simply as Haulover inlet, is a man-made channel in
State Road A1A
across the inlet.
The name has appeared on maps as early as 1823.[1]
There is a State of Florida Historical Landmark Marker (over 50 years old) at the original Lighthouse Dock site dedicated on February 21, 2004, to the first charter-boat captains at the 1926–1951 dock. It is the only marker in the State of Florida for a fishing dock.
Haulover Inlet is notorious for its combination of wind, dangerous tides, and natural obstacles, which can cause large waves that threaten to swamp unprepared boats. [2]
