Florida is surrounded by water and what better place to see the ocean than by visiting one of many Florida Piers. Piers are a gathering spot for sealife, wildlife and people. Piers offer not only great fishing, many feature fine dining and live music as well a great place to enjoy a cocktail. On a pier, you can experience the water without getting on a boat.
If boating or just being around boats is your thing, Florida Inlets & Passes are places where the ocean meets inland waters. Sometimes known as ports and bays, activities at inlets can be as simple as fishing, bicycle riding or strolling along watching diverse wildlife. Many ports are home to major international cruise terminals with dining and entertainment establishments for passengers and visitors alike.
