Coral Ridge to Port Everglades is a longer ICW commute than Las Olas, with a shoal that happens at home. Oakland Park and Sunrise sit near twenty-five feet closed. 17th Street is fifty-five. None of that saves a five-and-a-half-foot finger. The route URL exists because owners treat “south to the inlet” as one product. It is an ordered gauntlet plus a backyard that may already have lost.

Start at the finger: 5.5 ft is usually the fail before any ICW span. If you clear the backyard, Oakland Park then Sunrise at ~25 ft, Las Olas at ~31, 17th Street at ~55, then Port Everglades. Hillsboro is the other mouth — different route, different bar. Approximate seed geometry. Map deep link included.

Is Hillsboro closer?

For some lots, yes. It is a different bar. See Coral Ridge to Hillsboro. Do not mix the mouths.
