If you’re a fan of enjoying beautiful beaches, try taking it to the next levels. Surfing the Gulf of Mexico’s warm waters is an experience of a lifetime! Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a wave-riding beginner, the waters are perfect for all levels.
One of the best and most well-known beaches to surf at is St. Andrew’s Park, aka The Park by locals. The Park has two main breaks, which are both excellent inside and outside spots.

2. Take a Dolphin/Snorkel Tour
Become one with nature on a dolphin/snorkel tour! You can swim freely with bottlenose dolphins near the marina, which is truly a remarkable experience.
Most bookings allow you to have private outings with a maximum of 6 people per boat. The Dolphin and Snorkel Tours company is the only company that actually guarantees a dolphin sighting since many bottlenose dolphins swim around the marina. Bear in mind it is not recommended to lure the dolphins in with food.
