Have a need for speed? Rev things up and put some wind in your hair with a Jet Ski or WaveRunner rental. Available throughout The Palm Beaches, these high-powered personal watercraft give you the freedom to explore our waterways at your leisure—from the West Palm Beach waterfront to the Bingham Islands, an Audubon sanctuary located in the center of Lake Worth Lagoon.

Tranquil seas, mangrove tunnels, crystal-clear lagoons—there are countless places to set out on a scenic paddle in The Palm Beaches. Kayak your way from Riviera Beach to Peanut Island, or hop into a canoe and paddle the Wild & Scenic Loxahatchee River at Jupiter’s Riverbend Park; you may even share the water with manatees, sea turtles and alligators!

Ever wanted to splash around in an aquarium? That’s pretty much what it’s like to snorkel or scuba dive in The Palm Beaches. Just beyond our 47-mile coastline lies part of the only living barrier coral reef system in the continental United States, with lush coral and limestone formations, shipwrecks, and sea life ranging from tiny seahorses to goliath grouper.

Saltwater or freshwater, inshore or offshore, The Palm Beaches are an angler’s paradise. Hire a fishing charter and head to the Gulf Stream to chase trophies at legendary Sailfish Alley, or wrestle with snook and tarpon on a sport-fishing excursion closer to shore. Farther inland, Lake Okeechobee’s seemingly endless supply of bigmouth bass has earned it a reputation as one of the premier bass-fishing sites in the country.

Take your day at the beach to thrilling new heights on a parasailing adventure. With your feet dangling hundreds of feet above the water, soar over Palm Beach, Singer Island and the turquoise Atlantic Ocean—maybe even spotting a few dolphins along the way. Safe and scenic, parasailing is the perfect sunny-day activity for just about everyone in the family.

our major inlets lead to the Atlantic Ocean from the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon. Here, you’ll find more boat charters and boat rentals than you can swing a jib at. Play captain for a day, or sit back and let a professional chart your course. Share cocktails on a sunset sail. Stop for a swim or snorkel at a secluded beach. Get your motor running on a Jet Ski or thrilling speedboat ride.
