I had a really bad experience buying fish from a fisherman at Haulover Marina. He sold me a…read more25-pound amberjack, told me it was "just like grouper," and assured me it was good eating. After cooking it, I found out it tasted terrible, and later learned that amberjack is not a fish most people eat because it can carry toxins and parasites. I felt completely misled. This kind of dishonesty makes it impossible to trust what they're selling--who even knows when the fish was caught or if it was fresh at all. If you want safe, quality seafood and honest advice, I'd recommend skipping the marina fishermen and going to a reputable seafood market instead. It's a shame, because I would have been a regular customer if they had been honest from the start.

A hub of activity and a spot to view an impressive variety of birds and boats--it set the tone for a great start and end to our two-hour tour. Note that parking is paybyphone app mostly or you can pay at a meter located between the public boat dock (by the Colombian restaurant) and the large blue, warehouse-style marine center and store. The restrooms in the store are recommended over the ones on the side of the public boat ramps - much cleaner!

Temptation Island is the third island south of the Oleta River State Park boat ramp and is a part…read moreof Oleta River State Park. The approximate GPS coordinates for it are 25 degrees 53.5N 80 degrees 8.5W. It's also located just west of Intracoastal Marker #12 and it's the last island south of Haulover Inlet before you reach the bridge. It's just a little island as in really being very small. To get to it, you'll need a boat and though a well-known favorite of locals generally overlooked and unknown to tourists. And, oddly enough, the Oleta Park web site seems to make no particular mention of it. When you arrive at Temptation Island you'll find a rather picturesque bay that might make you think it's actually Gilligan's Island, but it's not. The beach area is rather rocky so wearing water shoes or sandals is a good idea. One of the things that makes Temptation an outstanding place for boaters is that the water close to shore has a drop off and goes really deep so if your boat draws a 6 foot draft, not a problem. The best way handle your mooring is to drop a bow anchor then back in toward the island. Then when you are at your preferred distance run a long rope off your aft upon shore securing it to a tree. As it is small and a local favorite, space for mooring is quickly taken. Hence there may be no room for you as spaces are taken rather early by groups that enjoy rafting together on the weekends. I've rafter here several times over the years with the likes of SSA Boating, Out Boating and Boys With Boats. Everyone has always had fun at the raftings and have thoroughly enjoy the beauty of Temptation Island. As little islands, or what Jimmy Buffet might best describe as a "little piece of salty sand" go along the Intracoastal, Temptation is a Five Star.
