Drift dives, wreck treks, and a world-famous tide-timed shore dive in South Florida
Overview
Palm Beach, Florida sits on the Atlantic where the Gulf Stream runs close to shore, creating wildlife-rich drift dives minutes from the inlet. Offshore you get parallel reef lines and wreck corridors for easy boat diving, plus seasonal big-life hits in nearby Jupiter. Inshore, the famous Blue Heron Bridge at Phil Foster Park is a slack-tide shore dive and snorkeling trail with some of Florida's best macro photography. Between dives you can snorkel Peanut Island, bike the Intracoastal, and dress up for Worth Avenue and the historic Flagler Museum. With three major airports, year-round charters, and a mix of luxury and nature, Palm Beach is a rare place where you can do a two-tank drift in the morning and a sunset beach walk the same day.
Most charters run guided drifts with live boat pickup, so you can cover long reef lines without complex navigation.
Combine the critter-rich Blue Heron Bridge with offshore reefs for turtles, rays, and seasonal sharks.
