What?s Unique about Paddleboarding in Marathon & the Florida Keys

Our Bayside location in Marathon is ideal for paddleboarding because the water is calmer than on the Oceanside. We are protected by the island chain and the shallow depth of Florida Bay, which make for smoother waters.

Our convenient Middle Keys location means you?ll be paddling in no time. Compared to paddleboarding in Key West or Key Largo, your experience here will be more peaceful and secluded.

Discover Florida Keys Wildlife

Our warm waters provide unique wildlife viewing opportunities. It?s not unusual to see endangered manatees or dolphins passing by, which will make for an unforgettable adventure!

While paddling along the shoreline, watch for tropical fish in the roots of our mangrove trees. In shallow areas, look for rays, lobster, nurse sharks, and sea turtles.

Standing on your paddleboard gives you a birds-eye view into the clear water. As you paddle quietly, you can blend with your marine environment without scaring wildlife away.
