Guy that dropped them was chill and didn't ask for money or a deposit or anything. No paperwork changed hands, he just trusted us to use PayPal on the website. Totally, totally cool. Support this company. Vote with your dollars. There should be more businesses like this in the world.

Loved these guys!

We met John at the beach- he provided the boards, a quick lesson, and then got us out in the water! We even got caught in a huge rainstorm, so the lesson ended short but John and his wife gave us a ride to our car- so awesome and nice! Loved it and highly recommend this company :)

My daughter 14 wanted to get her scuba certification. I knew nothing about diving. The dive shop…read morewas very helpful explaining to me how the whole process works. I had some concerns because although my daughter is a strong swimmer she can be flighty. Mark her instructor was very personable. He has a calm demeanor about him and jolly at the same time. It is clear he loves to dive and teach. My daughter said he has a special way to explain things that make it extra fun. I think Mark was very patient and he let her wander around and take some time to look at everything in amazement, rather than constantly tapping her on the shoulder to get her back on task. This made her experience much more enjoyable and she is totally in love with the underwater world.

WOW!!! The coolest thing I have done here in FL since moving here in 1999…read more Myself and 5 others embarked on a Saturday morning stand up paddle boarding adventure! Being that this was my first time paddle boarding, or really any water sport outside of tubing, I was really nervous. However, this could not have been more of a perfect setting for my first adventure. Tim, and our guide, Todd were amazing! You could feel their energy just approaching the dock. We met up at JB's Fish Camp & Seafood Restaurant as all of the tours leave from this dock. Just walk to the end of the dock on the left and you will be greeted by East Coast Paddle! The weather was working against us this day with a bit of wind, however, Tim and Todd were prepared and took us on the best route possible. We boarded the boat and took off into the glorious Saturday and immediately we were greeted by the local dolphins - it was AMAZING! We were told we would see them throughout the day and we sure did, manatees too! After a quick ride, we stopped and began instructions on the basics and before I knew it, I was hopping up on a paddle board. At first I was terrified but the tips they give you (keep your eyes on the horizon, wiggle your toes etc) were perfect for a first timer. We also had someone with us who has done this various times and she was impressed with East Coast Paddle! They event make their own boards which was awesome as well, they were sturdy and had amazing grip. We were paddling for about an hour and it was the most relaxing and exciting thing I have done in as long as I can remember. Dolphins were literally swimming next to us and then when we hit the cove, manatees were all over the place playing. It was amazing. Todd was so informative of various species of birds, nature and history of where we were. He was sharing some awesome info that just added to the experience. It's definitely a work out too, your core is used the entire time, but so fun! When my out of town friends and family visit me, I know our first item on the to-do list! Huge props to East Coast Paddle!

The guys that run this place are awesome! Earlier in the summer I was invited to participate in a…read moreYelp event with East Coast Paddle, and while I was a tad nervous at first, the outcome was a most enjoyable experience with some awesome folks (talking Yelpers AND the East Coast Paddle crew). I'm a somewhat athletic person (nowhere near where I'd like to be, though), so I wasn't daunted by the experience, and was excited about doing something new. Our guides rocked, and were both catering and educating all at the same time. I actually enjoyed East Coast Paddle so much I went again with a couple of friends over the Labor Day weekend. Due to wind direction the "route" this time was extremely different than the one I'd experienced earlier in the year, and that speaks to the fact that someone can go numerous times and have a different experience all times. I definitely will go back to East Coast Paddle at some point in the future. It's a unique experience for tourists and residents alike.

This is one of a handful of parking options for Daytona Shores area. There's maybe 10 parking spots…read morein the baby parking lot there, or you can drive up to the shack and pay to park on the actual beach. If you can nab one of the parking lot spots, it's $20 for the day. Parking on the beach is a little more, about $30. So it's not the best but most beaches you have to pay which is standard and you'd just wanna make sure you'll actually be there enough time for it to be worthwhile. There is a small building here too with bathrooms, water fountain, and a shower to rinse off the sand. Part of it is still closed from storms and all the sand reallocation they've been doing for several years. This is such a convenient area to be able to park though- 2-3 minutes to walk down to the sand and stake your territory. There's also a coffee shop/ bakery literally right across the street from Van Avenue parking that takes 3-4 minutes to walk to if you need/ want a snack or food or drink on the beach, which is what we did.

We kayaked from our houseboat to the bar one night; and, we stopped in the marina market one morning. We understand that Boat Tree is the new owner, re-energizing the place; and, providing more services, including free wi-fi on our boat! Access is easy off of I-4 via SR 46; and, parking is plentiful. The facilities are clean and up-to-date; and, maintenance staff are working 7 days a week. We enjoyed our mini-vacation very much; and, I hope to return with my wife for a romantic weekend aboard another houseboat!

Before leaving we considered grabbing a coffee & noticed an ad for homemade ice cream, so we ordered some. Not only did the employee NOT wash his hands, he was NOT wear gloves while dislodging the ice cream off the scooper into the cup using his fingers... On that note we decided to head out & while planning our next stop before pulling out, the employee went outside & took off his shirt & started smoking something (not sure what, but it was no cigarette). Needless to say our experience there was rather shocking & un-sanitary; even by pre-covid standards.
