I think the entire walk is about a mile, but is suitable for those with limited mobility. I am not usually here in December, so I was surprised that I only saw one alligator. I usually visit in March/April, when it's gator mating season and I probably see a hundred. In the one area of the board walk, the great blue heron walked leisurely hunting small fish with no fear of a gator. There were minnows and even a decent sized fish. There is ample parking at the trail head, restrooms and a gift shop. They furnish blue tarps to protect vehicles from vultures, which can be particularly bad at some times of the year. This is the most scenic, walkable trail in the park.

It has free parking, and you can just walk down the hill for a bit of respite and look at the ocean. The dock usually has tons of local fishermen and people bring their beach chairs to just relax.

The dock is currently closed for renovations, but can't wait to see what's done for the reopening on April 2021!!

We reserved a half day offshore trip. Even though it was a beautiful day, the weather wasn't cooperative in catching bait and since it took awhile, he put the throttles down and we were on the fishing grounds in no time. Once we were fishing, we boated a nice blackfin tuna and almost another. At the last minute we decided to extend to a 3/4 day and without hesitation, he agreed and we were off to catch some hogfish. (Yes, we were successful!) If your looking for a good time with your kids, friends or family, call Augie at Here Fishy Charters, he won't let you down!!

He was extremely patient answering our group's many questions and educated us on numerous aspects of the ecosystem. The camp itself goes back six generations, which gives a very personal touch to the experience. Marshall went above and beyond "just" an airboat ride, making a necklace for us out of a river plant, stopping at a private island to allow us to explore, and introducing us to the people and animals that are part of the camp. Marshall was in constant communication leading up to the tour, professional, and accommodating. This excursion should be a must-do for anyone visiting the area.

After his passing, I lost my fishing mate. That is, the angler companion brave enough to unhook my catch. I mustered the courage to hook the frozen squid but once the fish came up, I'd be damned if my hands went anywhere near it. Then there came Steve. My new fishing buddy took me out to this pier just down the street from my house. Like adventurous (and trespassing) teens, we hopped the dumpster and jumped over the fence. Only 10 yards away, an obvious entrance to the apartment building welcomed everyone else without the wits to illegally enter. Nevertheless, there we were on the short hike to the pier on the bay. The scene was quiet and serene with only the rapping of the tide against the low seawall. As dusk turned to night, Steve and I settled in as the only two fisherpeople casting our hooks to sea. Steve's friend claimed to catching a 20 pound tarpon only weeks earlier. For us, the only fish looking to sample bait happened to be baby snapper and grunts. Every catch went back to the water and as I huddled close to my hoodie and took in the low glow from the pier lights, I loved every second of my little adventure with Steve and thought I could be anywhere but 5 minutes from my house.

Every detail was handled, every question answered, and the energy on the boat was confident but relaxed. We ended up landing a 7.5 ft sailfish and a 14 ft hammerhead - a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. What stood out most wasn't just the fish, though. It was how Captain Jack and Christina guided us through every step of the fight. Clear coaching, constant communication, and total composure even when things got intense. Christina worked nonstop and went above and beyond all day. Both of them were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely excited for us. You can tell they care deeply about what they do and about the experience their guests have. I've fished a lot of places, and this was one of the most memorable days I've ever had offshore. If you're even considering booking with them - do it. You won't regret it.

The best part is all the gear and equipment and bait is included for all paying guests. There's several trip options to choose from. Early morning, during the days and their late night trip. We have done all, and I prefer the late nights. The water is calmer, it's not as hot, and it's pretty relaxing if you ask me. The business operates daily, weather permitting. The boats are pretty big, they seem to be able to hold about 30 persons on the fishing level. There's an upper deck for a smaller fee, for people who do not want to fish, but go along for the ride. You're welcome to keep whatever you catch, depending the size of course. Once we cough a nurse shark, we were not able to keep it, but it sure had eveyone taking onboard! You're also allowed to bring your meals and drinks on board. It's definitely a party if you make friends with your neighbors and enjoy the tour. I'll definitely continue using this company for years to come.
