Palm Coast Kayaking

Palm Coast Kayaking operates out of Bing’s Landing on North Oceanshore Boulevard, the same county park and boat ramp that anchors several small water-based businesses along this quiet stretch between Palm Coast and Flagler Beach. The company has been running for roughly eleven years, offering a mix of kayak rentals, guided boat tours, and boat charter services out of one of the more convenient public launch points on this part of the Intracoastal.

Bing’s Landing sits along the Matanzas River corridor, a designated aquatic preserve known for calm, protected water that suits paddlers of nearly any skill level, along with dolphins, wading birds, and, in cooler months, manatees moving through the same channels. That combination of easy access and reliably interesting scenery is a big part of why several small operators, Palm Coast Kayaking included, have chosen to base themselves at this particular launch rather than a busier marina further south toward St. Augustine.

The business keeps notably long daily hours, open every day of the week from six in the morning to six in the evening, which covers everything from early sunrise paddlers chasing calm water and good light to families heading out for a late-afternoon tour after the midday heat breaks. Between the kayak rentals and the boat tour and charter options, visitors have some flexibility in how they want to experience the water, whether that means self-guided paddling at their own pace or letting an operator handle the navigation while they focus on the scenery.

For a city built around an extensive canal network and sitting directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, having an operator based right at a public launch point like Bing’s Landing fills a real need. Not every Palm Coast resident or visitor owns a kayak or a boat, and a rental and charter operation with a fixed, well-known meeting spot removes a lot of the friction involved in getting out on the water for an afternoon. The seven-day, twelve-hour daily schedule also means it is rarely a problem to fit a trip around other weekend plans.

Anyone interested in booking should call ahead to confirm current availability and pricing, since small operators running out of a shared public launch point can have schedules that shift with tides, weather, and seasonal demand. With over a decade of operation at the same Bing’s Landing location, Palm Coast Kayaking has built a track record as one of the go-to independent options for getting out on Flagler County’s water without needing to own a boat.
