Kayak Rentals
Kayaking at MacArthur Beach State Park provides visitors with a unique experience.
Paddle around the estuary or travel under Burnt Bridge into the Lake Worth Lagoon and visit Munyon Island.
Depending on the season you may see wildlife including manatees, dolphins, mullet, snook, rays, and a variety of birds.
You can enjoy the calm kayaking waters of the Park by renting a kayak or in your own canoe/kayak. For year-round free kayaking, consider becoming a member at Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park.
Kayak Rental is available at the Beach Outfitters Gift Shop. For all the rules and regulations, check out this page.

Watch Your Tides! Kayaking at MacArthur Beach State Park is best at high tide to travel through the Estuary. At low tide, mud flats begin to appear in parts of the estuary. Although there is not as much deep water at low tide, it is a wonderful time to observe all of the park’s wildlife coming in to feed.
