1. COCOA BEACH<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re making the journey to Orlando anytime soon, you\u2019re probably wondering which of the local beaches you should visit with your PWC. One of the best places to Jet Ski in Orlando is Cocoa Beach, a nearly\u00a0six-mile stretch of sand and surf<\/a>.<\/p>\n This part of the coast is a popular hangout, thanks to the\u00a0800-foot Cocoa Beach Pier<\/a>, a fishing and tourism hotspot. Enjoy the views of this historic structure from the comfort and solitude of your PWC.\u00a0As you make your way through the waves, head for Port Canaveral, which offers plenty of recreational activities.<\/p>\n With\u00a0nearly three dozen boat ramps in the area<\/a>, spanning across the north, central and south Brevard County, launching from Cocoa Beach is easy.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a picturesque Gulf beach, you\u2019ll feel at home among the white sands and crystal waters of Marco Island. Located just a few miles from Naples, Marco Island is a barrier island known for its water-based recreational opportunities. When you\u00a0ride your PWC or jet ski<\/a>\u00a0here, you\u2019ll join leagues of parasailers, kayakers, paddlers, sightseers, boaters, and anglers who frequent the island.<\/p>\n Many people use their PWC to travel from Marco Island to\u00a0nearby Keewaydin Island<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a hidden gem beloved by locals. Keewaydin is only accessible via water, and it\u2019s well worth the journey. Depending on the time of year, you\u2019ll either find a private stretch of uninhabited coastline or an energetic party destination with music and floating foodservice boats.<\/p>\n Wherever you choose to explore near Marco Island, there are a few launches to choose from. Some of the most convenient include:<\/p>\n Jet Skiing in Tampa Bay, FL, is a favorite among PWC owners because it provides easy boat access to many different islands, which offers endless entertainment in between waves.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t afford to miss\u00a0Caladesi Island State Park<\/a>. The island is only accessible via water, making it the perfect destination when you set out on your PWC. Caladesi is a natural paradise, thanks to its untouched wildlife and pristine coastline. Other popular island destinations in Tampa are Beer Can Island, Shell Key, Anclote Key, and One Tree Island.<\/p>\n There are dozens of public boat ramps located all around the Bay area, so\u00a0consult a map to find one close to you<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you prefer the gentle waters of a freshwater lake, Lake Weir in Marion County has a lot to offer. The lake is\u00a0just over 5,600 acres<\/a>, and there are two parts: Lake Weir and Little Lake Weir. Little Lake Weir refers to the southwest lobe.<\/p>\n While many PWC owners love Lake Weir for its proximity to popular tourist attractions, like Disney and Orlando, others are drawn to it because of Ocala National Forest. The forest spans almost 383,000 total acres of hanging moss, woods, and Florida wildlife. Lake Weir is one of 600 lakes, rivers and streams found in Ocala.<\/p>\n For a relaxing day on beautiful waters, launch your PWC from the\u00a0public Hope Boat Ramp<\/a>\u00a0on SE 115 Avenue.<\/p>\n Biscayne Bay is a large, shallow estuary on the southeast coast of Florida. The water here flows directly from the Florida Everglades. Home to the Port of Miami \u2014\u00a0one of the world\u2019s largest ocean ports<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the bay is also home to more than 400 square miles of marine ecosystem. While you journey across currents on your PWC, expect to encounter\u00a0fish, birds and several types of seagrass<\/a>.\u00a0Just be careful not to anchor your vessel in or near one of the coral reefs.<\/p>\n See for yourself why many consider it one of the best places to Jet Ski in Miami and the surrounding areas. To launch your PWC,\u00a0visit any of the following marinas<\/a>:<\/p>\n The St. John\u2019s River near the city of Deltona is\u00a0the longest river in Florida<\/a>\u00a0and the longest north-flowing river in the United States. The waters here are naturally slow, but they are moved by the tidal influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, expect to see both freshwater and saltwater marine life, including blue crabs, manatees, and manta rays.<\/p>\n Like Lake Weir, many boaters bring their vessels to St. John\u2019s River for unparalleled views of Ocala National Forest. It\u2019s also an excellent place to challenge yourself if you enjoy the thrill of navigating narrow, remote channels.<\/p>\n Public launch points to St. Johns River include:<\/p>\n Are you looking for a wide-open freshwater destination for your next trip? Check out Lake Okeechobee, Florida\u2019s largest freshwater lake and the eighth largest lake in the United States.\u00a0It connects to both of Florida\u2019s coasts via the Okeechobee Waterway.<\/p>\n Its enormous size is what earned it the name Okeechobee, which\u00a0means \u201cbig water\u201d in Seminole Indian<\/a>. Located near Palm Beach County, the lake has a surface area of 730 square miles and is an integral part of the Greater Everglades. Many describe it as\u00a0the \u201cliquid heart\u201d of Florida<\/a>\u00a0for this reason, and because it\u2019s located in the center of the state.<\/p>\n There are\u00a0more than a dozen boat launches\u00a0<\/a>near Okeechobee, including several marinas and recreational parks.<\/p>\n Best Places to Ride PWCs in Florida<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n2.
