Kayaking

Honest John's Fish Camp offers rentals and is located within the Indian River Lagoon State Park, which is a great place to see Manatees.

🏄

Surfing

The best surf this weekend will be Friday morning and, to a lesser extent, Saturday morning. If interested, we'd recommend renting a board from the Catalyst surf shop in Melbourne Beach.

Golf

We recommend the Spessard Holland Golf Course for a round or Crane Creek Reserve for driving. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to borrow a set of clubs. There may be rentals available at the courses as well.

🎣

Fishing

There are plenty of fishing charters offered in the area, including here. If your rental has equipment, or you brought your own, Sebastian Inlet is the most renowned local spot and the Melbourne Beach Pier is popular as well.
