Fishing Gear at the Marina

Fishing at Sandestin®

We like to say you’ll find Sandestin® between the beach and the bay, which means we’re surrounded by water, lots of it. There’s a beautiful undersea world waiting for you here. Go freshwater catch and release fishing at resort lakes, go surf fishing at the beach, or fish at the property piers. Enjoy the thrill of an exciting Florida deep-sea fishing trip or charter a pontoon boat, and maybe you’ll get that big catch, or have fun trying. 

(NO fishing or cast nets are permitted on Baytowne Marina docks at ANY time)

Fishing Gear / Supplies at The Sandestin® Bike Shop

Pre-packaged fishing kits for children and adults or single fishing poles are available for purchase. Artificial lures, bobbers, hooks, and Frozen bait- located at the Baytowne Marina bike shop.

  • Man Fishing on the Beach at Sunset

Fishing on the Beach

Resident saltwater anglers who fish from shore will need a shoreline fishing license unless they have a regular saltwater fishing license, persons with disabilities fishing license, other combo license or are exempt. The shoreline saltwater fishing license is available to Florida residents only. Nonresident saltwater anglers must purchase a regular nonresident saltwater fishing license at $17 for three days, $30 for seven days or $47 for one year, regardless of whether they fish from shore or a vessel. These prices include administrative fees, but handling fees are additional.

 We ask that guests be very, very courteous to others swimming in the water and sitting on the shore. The most convenient times to fish on the beach would be early morning or late afternoon.
