Disclaimer

Unless a status is explicitly marked as a manual operator note, bridge information here is computed from AIS vessel-tracking data — vessel positions, speeds and headings near the Barefoot Landing Swing Bridge at AIWW mile 353.3. It is an informed estimate of what the bridge is likely to do, not a report from the bridge itself.

Vessels without AIS, feed outages, and stale positions all mean an opening can happen with no warning here — or be predicted and never occur. Confidence figures describe the model, not reality.

For anything that matters — timing a crossing, transiting by boat, scheduling a delivery — contact the bridge tender on VHF channel 9 or by phone at 843-361-3291, and follow posted signs, signals and the instructions of the tender and public authorities. Their word overrides anything shown here.

Weather comes from the US National Weather Service and can be delayed or superseded. Always check official NWS warnings and local emergency management guidance during severe weather. Nothing here is a marine forecast or a substitute for official notices to mariners.

Community stories are summarized from published local reporting, government agendas and public notices, with links to the original source. Summaries may contain errors or omit context, meeting times and agendas change, and the original source always governs. Tell us when something is wrong and we will correct it.

The app relies on third-party feeds and services we do not control. Their availability, accuracy and terms are their own, and outages on their side will show up here.

The Barefoot Resort App is independent. It is not a government, emergency-service, homeowners' association, or resort-management application, and it should never be relied upon in an emergency. Call 911.
