Boaters: Bring your boat! Use the boat ramp to launch your boat and tie up to your houseboat or if you have a large boat, use one of our moorings at the nearby anchorage.

Fishermen: This is a fabulous area for fishing the mangroves for snook and tarpon. We also have a kayak you may use, a five minute paddle puts you in some of the best light tackle fishing in the Keys.

Divers and snorkelers: In addition to Pennekamp, which is on Key Largo, this central location is a short drive to the Biscayne Marine Park.
