The Straits of FloridaThe Florida straits, the J-shaped channel between southeastern Florida and the Bahamas, and the Florida Keys and Cuba.
The Straits of Florida, Florida Straits, or Florida Strait (Spanish: Estrecho de Florida) is a strait located south-southeast of the North American mainland, generally accepted to be between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and between the Florida Keys (U.S.) and Cuba. It is 93 mi (150 km) wide at the narrowest point between Key West and the Cuban shore, and has been sounded to a depth of 6,000 feet (1,800 m).[1] The strait carries the Florida Current, the beginning of the Gulf Stream, from the Gulf of Mexico.
