Make Waves with Flagler Beach and Palm Coast Water Sports

When you stay at the Beach Front Motel along Florida's Atlantic coast, it only makes sense that you'd want to spend a lot of time enjoying the water. Palm Coast and Flagler Beach offer a plethora of water sports that cater to both thrill-seekers and those looking to relax on the water. Here are some of the top water sports to enjoy during your stay with us in the Sunshine State.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Stand-up paddleboarding is a fantastic way to explore the serene waters around Flagler Beach. The area has many guided tours of the Mantanzas River that take you through mangrove tidal creeks and salt marshes. Take a lesson or go on an eco-tour from SUP Dude. Or you can rent a paddleboard from one of several local outfitters. Paddle at your own pace, take in the stunning views, and maybe even spot some local wildlife such as dolphins and manatees.

Kayaking: For paddlers who aren't comfortable standing up on the water, take a seat in a kayak. Paddle the tranquil waters of the Intracoastal Waterway for a unique perspective on Florida's diverse ecosystems and rich wildlife. Places like Tropical Kayaks and Ripple Effect Ecotours rent everything you need for a day of paddling. Or for a truly unique kayaking adventure, try a guided clear kayak tour with Get Up and Go Kayaking. From your see-through kayak, you'll get a glimpse beneath the surface of the calm ocean estuary as you navigate its channels.

Boating: Trade your paddle for a motor and go for a boat ride! Boating in Northeast Florida provides a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Rental a pontoon boat from Palm Coast Fishing and Boating, charter a fishing vessel to reel in a big catch, experience the thrill of a catamaran ride with Backwater Cat Adventure, or take a leisurely sunset cruise with Palm Tiki Adventures. Enjoy the freedom of the open water, exploring hidden coves and enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery.
