Temptation Island is the third island south of the Oleta River State Park boat ramp and is a part…read moreof Oleta River State Park. The approximate GPS coordinates for it are 25 degrees 53.5N 80 degrees 8.5W. It's also located just west of Intracoastal Marker #12 and it's the last island south of Haulover Inlet before you reach the bridge. It's just a little island as in really being very small. To get to it, you'll need a boat and though a well-known favorite of locals generally overlooked and unknown to tourists. And, oddly enough, the Oleta Park web site seems to make no particular mention of it. When you arrive at Temptation Island you'll find a rather picturesque bay that might make you think it's actually Gilligan's Island, but it's not. The beach area is rather rocky so wearing water shoes or sandals is a good idea. One of the things that makes Temptation an outstanding place for boaters is that the water close to shore has a drop off and goes really deep so if your boat draws a 6 foot draft, not a problem. The best way handle your mooring is to drop a bow anchor then back in toward the island. Then when you are at your preferred distance run a long rope off your aft upon shore securing it to a tree. As it is small and a local favorite, space for mooring is quickly taken. Hence there may be no room for you as spaces are taken rather early by groups that enjoy rafting together on the weekends. I've rafter here several times over the years with the likes of SSA Boating, Out Boating and Boys With Boats. Everyone has always had fun at the raftings and have thoroughly enjoy the beauty of Temptation Island. As little islands, or what Jimmy Buffet might best describe as a "little piece of salty sand" go along the Intracoastal, Temptation is a Five Star.

Beware of high tide the current will drag you your further and quicker than expected. Had a blast and would definitely rent from Sundown again.

We had a group of six and the pontoon was clean and worked perfectly. They have a Bluetooth speaker system on board the pontoon that paired well with our phone for music. I like the fact that It did not drain the battery as it is a separate unit. They have a well size cooler on board for you, so just bring ice and beverages and you are all set. Anyway we had a fun day going up and down the intercoastal and especially good time on the sandbar that Captain Mark told us to check out. We will definitely use them again next trip back to Hollywood Florida.
