we are planning a trip in June to run From Jupiter FL down the intercostal to Miami FL. Similar to the trip we ran last year.

this site was a huge help in planning our last trip, as we know nothing about the area or water ways. Again we are on no schedule, and don't have to be anywhere, at anytime. Where are the good spots to stop? Sand bars, tiki bars, marina's with hotels, etc....

might as well run down to the keys. That's the ultimate place for sand bars, bar hopping and so on. What time in June are you planing this ? Maybe we can go do it together from Miami and we can stay at my house in the keys. Send me a PM

Let me know when, and I'll run part of the run with ya, meet up in Palm Beach somewhere.

that's an unbelievable offer and I will definitely take you up on it one day soon! Very much appreciated.

I have run by boat from Miami down to Key West, it was a great trip, but not what i'm looking to do in June. We are trying to cover the entire East coast by water. Merritt to Jupiter last year, and Jupiter to Miami this year. We got to see and stop at so many different spots I would have never found had we not done this trip by water. So we are looking forward to finding the same local watering holes and skinny dippin sand bars this year.

Like i said above PM me when you plan on doing it. I live in Miami on the water and can take you to all the "hot " spot in the water in Miami. Nixon beach, Elliot, and so on.....

Shoot me a pm right before you arrive. I live in Jupiter now and grew up in Miami. I've made the run in the past and if we plan it on a weekend or sunday/monday we can do it together!

any one know of hotels with marina's between Jupiter and Miami

Not sure if they rent slips overnight, but try the boca resort, just about halfway on your trip, and right inside the inlet.

It's definitely not a peach, but it is convenient; and Houston's is within walking distance.

Another good choice, not sure why I never remember that one.
