Top Water Activities in Florida

I recommend going on a weekday, like Tuesday around 2 PM if you can; it was way less crowded and we got better photo ops with no one in the way

Take a walk along the docks and chat with local boaters; they have the best tips on hidden spots and local adventures.

Use the convenience of the free lockers! I totally didn’t take advantage of them at first and ended up lugging my stuff around. It made things so much easier once I did.

I recommend visiting during the week instead of the weekend. I went on a Friday and it was way less crowded which made the experience so much more enjoyable.

I think going in the morning, around 9 AM, is best. The winds are calmer and the views are stunning before it gets super crowded.

I recommend booking online in advance, it saves you time and sometimes you can snag a discount! I saw a few folks who didn’t have reservations and had to wait a while.

I suggest going in the morning, around 9 AM. The winds are calmer and the skies are clearer – perfect for a sweet view of the beach below!

If you're prone to motion sickness, take some Dramamine before your flight. I didn’t think I’d need it, but I felt a bit queasy on the boat. Better safe than sorry!

I reccomend bringing your own snacks. The food prices on-site are kinda steep, and you’re allowed to bring in some goodies, so save some cash that way!

If you're renting a boat, I suggest booking in advance, especially on weekends. It can get super busy, and I missed out on an amazing sunset cruise because I waited too long!

Check out the local seafood spots nearby – they have some great deals on fresh catches! I found a restaurant just walking distance from the marina that had happy hour specials, and it was a highlight of my trip.

I think you should explore the walking paths around the marina. It was so relaxing and way less crowded than the dock area.
