They have all the essentials for fishing, the beach, some groceries, and a little deli shop. My husband got the hot dog with their homemade chili and loves it! I got the ham and cheese sub and it was very fresh and delicious! A must stop, especially to support the local, small business.

I've paddled the Emerald Cut a few times now. Initially I didn't like the idea of paying to launch…read moremy own paddleboard. However, it's only $10 now that I have my own life jacket (saving me additional cost of $5 to use one of theirs, as required). Well worth the low cost for some soul-enriching, communing with nature. I have never made a reservation. I normally arrive around 10:30, most recently on a Friday. Parked for free on Baptist Camp Rd. Just a bit of a walk from there with my inflated paddleboard, but I don't mind the extra exercise. You can unload your stuff closer, if preferable. There are port-a-potties available. You can count on there being a line in the check-in office. Various recreation supplies are available there for purchase. The process moves reasonably enough. A reservation will guarantee your entrance, however, and possibly aide quicker personal info collection. I always plan to do the Emerald Cut in roughly 3 hours round-trip, allowing myself several stops to enjoy the surroundings. You do run into (quite literally at times) novice paddlers along the way, which can be a bit tricky, yet not a real nuisance for me. In general, there's friendliness along the waterway. Slighty rowdy, party vibes in some spots, but also opportunities for solace and zen in various nooks. Encountering wildlife, fragrant elderberry, and other captivating flora along this stretch is always gratifying. It's a popular recreation destination for good reason.

This is one of the most beautiful places in Florida! Highly recommend visiting at least once. Being…read morelocal, I've visited a number of times. A few things knock the stars down: - The amount of rules/ regulations is a downside. There are more than any other river we've visited in Florida. It's nerve wracking to make sure you're following every new rule. - Launching and landing at the dock is stressful. It feels rushed and disorganized. - The bathroom situation is DIRE. They have a few porta potties but they're pretty gross. - I've found some of the staff intimidating/ borderline rude. There are a lot of newbies to kayaking/ paddleboarding so patience is a virtue at busy times! It's a hard paddle up stream and coming back it can be easy to lose control around the corners. There are a few spots to be cautious of other paddlers. With that said, it's really stunning. They keep the area very clean and there are a lot of spots to pull off to the side to enjoy the view. I've never done a guided tour, but I've heard they're really well done!

Capt. TJ put us on a great sheepshead bite this December 2025…read more He was punctual, professional, and courteous throughout the entire day. This really is a walk-on/walk-off the boat experience. I've lived in central Florida my entire life and have been an avid fisherman for nearly 25 years; That said, Capt. TJ did not have to bait my hooks for me, dehook fish, tie knots and rig lines, nor did he have to clean the fish for me at the boat ramp; but he did it anyways. That's just the kind of person he is. He makes it easy. All you have to do is reel in fish. The day was absolutely seamless. Fishing doesn't have to be a hassle with Birds & Boards. It matters not if you are a complete novice or a seasoned professional, Capt. TJ knows his stuff & you and your crew are sure to have a great time. I wish I could give more stars. Birds & Boards comes highly recommended. You won't be sorry. (Pro tip: He's done a lot of fishing. Pick his brain for some life wisdom. Solid guy. 10/10)
