About This Adventure

Experience a memorable day at the ocean-side Islamorada Sandbar with your private group. Enjoy water toys, floats, and a cooler while soaking up the sun. Customize your adventure with options for a quieter spot or the lively Holiday Isle. Bring your own food and drinks for a perfect beach day!

SUMMARY:

Note: There is no snorkeling at the Sandbar (not much to see here). All Ages Welcome! Our fun captains drive your private group directly to the ocean-side Islamorada Sandbar at Whale Harbor for a full day (6hrs) or partial day (2 to 4 hrs).. The sandbar excursion is like a day at the beach. We bring the water toys, floats, paddleboard, cooler and ice. You bring your own food/drinks, towels, lotion, etc. This excursion only goes to one location, oceanside. Choose either a quieter sandbar or select the famous Islamorada/Whale Harbor Sandbar (AKA Holiday Isle/Postcard Inn), in front of Three Waters Resort & Wahoo's Restaurant.

Want to add snorkel at the reef or bayside or add sightseeing or bar hop to your Sandbar day? Exit this: "Simple Sandbar" description, and, select the PRIVATE Half-Day Multi-Activity Private Charter
