Exceptional Watersports, a Bounty of Marine Life
The Breakers Palm Beach is the best-kept-secret for those who want soft adventure in tandem with a luxury resort experience. Set against one of Florida’s finest beaches and located just a half mile from one of the world’s most incredible coral reefs, The Beach Club offers active travelers a dynamic menu of watersports – a comprehensive SCUBA diving program and certification, snorkeling, reef tours and kayak excursions and boogie board rentals – and access to an amazing sanctuary of marine life.
The natural treasures found off shore are attributed to two different hurricanes dating back to the 1920s, which destroyed a 1000-foot pier that extended out from The Breakers' shoreline. The ruins beneath the sea resulted in extraordinary pristine coral reef formations – now a habitat for some 400+ species of marine life including fish, crustaceans, sponges and invertebrates. Today, the reef is sought out by watersports enthusiasts from around the globe, who have observed everything from turtles to stingrays within a mile of the sands of The Breakers. Voted in the top 100 by Florida’s former leading dive magazine, Rodale’s Scuba Diving, for best fish life and best overall diving, Palm Beach County’s natural reefs begin just off The Breakers with reef lines at 25, 60, 80 and 100 feet along the coast. -cont’d-
