  • •Protected intracoastal water keeps conditions glassy in the morning
  • •Oyster bars and marsh islands give you real destinations, not just lap-paddling
  • •Ocean side is lively enough for open-water practice without serious break
  • •Dolphins routinely roll past paddlers in the back marsh

Local tips

  1. 1Launch from the intracoastal side, not the ocean, if it's your first time. Easier balance, better wildlife.
  2. 2Go early. Wind picks up mid-morning and a 10 knot breeze turns a fun paddle into a workout.
  3. 3Wear a leash, always. Current in the back marsh can carry a loose board faster than you can swim.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need paddleboard experience?

No. Beginners start on their knees for 10 minutes then stand up. Most people are cruising within 30 minutes on flat water.

Is the ocean or the intracoastal better for SUP?

Intracoastal for beginners, families, and wildlife. Ocean for experienced paddlers who want open-water feel or small surf.

What should I bring?

Quick-dry swimwear, a leash (rental provides), sunscreen, a hat you can secure, and water. A dry bag for your phone is smart.
