Nearshore Fishing


Learn more about the nearshore fishing in the West Palm Beach, FL area.


Running the Beaches


This area is very unique since the Gulf Stream waters are so close to the Palm Beach Inlet.  Excellent sport fishing starts so close to shore here that you can catch so many awesome species of fish even if you’re still in nearshore waters.  The usual nearshore fish are available such as tarpon, cobia, sharks, jacks, mackerel and more.  Mix in some mahi mahi that venture a little too close to shore and you have some really awesome opportunities in the waters around West Palm Beach, Florida.


Nearshore Reefs & Wrecks


The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission has a great website that allows you to see reefs and wrecks on a map.  Their Interactive Map Viewer is awesome, so feel free to check that out if you’re looking to structure fish the nearshore or offshore waters off of the beaches of the West Palm Beach, Florida area.
