Experience the excitement of beach fishing along Southwest Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast. Our guided fishing adventures are perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels, from first-time fishermen to experienced anglers looking for an unforgettable experience.

Fish the productive beaches throughout Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties while targeting exciting species such as Pompano, Snook, Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, Tarpon, Whiting, Sheepshead, and more. Locations are carefully selected based on tides, weather, seasonal patterns, and current conditions to maximize your chances of success.

More than just fishing, every trip offers the opportunity to experience Southwest Florida's incredible wildlife. Dolphins, manta rays, sea turtles, shorebirds, and rolling tarpon are common sights along our beautiful beaches.

Many of the beaches we fish are also known for fossilized shark teeth. Depending on conditions, guests may have the opportunity to search for these prehistoric treasures and discover a unique piece of Florida's natural history.

Family-friendly and perfect for groups, our trips are ideal for families, friends, and vacationers. Everyone is welcome to join the adventure, even if they choose not to fish.

Your experience includes rods and reels, bait and tackle, fishing instruction and guidance, local fishing knowledge, and assistance with fish identification and handling.

Guests should bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water, snacks, and a Florida Saltwater Fishing License unless exempt.

Beach fishing is an active experience, and guests should be prepared to walk portions of the shoreline as we search for feeding fish and changing conditions.

Whether you're chasing your first Pompano, battling a trophy Snook, searching for shark teeth, or simply enjoying a memorable day at the beach with family and friends, we'll help create memories that last a lifetime.

    Great experience

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing on August 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught the sunset on the beach while fishing with friends what more can you ask for. Our guide was very knowledgeable and never made us feel embarrassed for asking questions. Before we fished the surf all week never caught one pompano within 30 mins of our trip with Loren we had what we came for. I’ve met alot of charter captains and guides over the years and Loren was nice and had grace for us. My first cast the bail tripped and i lost the bait rigging he just put on he just smiled and said thats ok bro it happens and got me another pole in the water while he fixed my mess lol

    Can’t go wrong! What an amazing night!

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing on June 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Our family of five loved every minute of our sunset fishing experience! It was our kid’s (14, 5, and 2) first time fishing. Getting to watch them reel in our catch was a blast. Our guide made it enjoyable for everyone, taught the kids everything they needed to know like how to bait the hooks, cast, and reel in. He made sure we caught some fish. Everything you need is included so no buying or lugging equiptment. He was so nice and fun as well! We’re so glad we booked this trip! Great for families of all ages and all skill levels.

Very organized. Communication was very good from the time we booked all the way up through the evening that we finished. would definitely book again !

    Great time

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing on September 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught 10 fish several different breeds and types. The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful the entire time we were there; we stayed out fishing until it was completely dark to give us as much time as we could to fish and catch more. The captain even adjusted the time to give us better chances of catching more based on the tide and weather. I would gladly schedule another trip with him

    Loren made my grandkids feel special

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing on October 14, 2026 • 7 adults • 3 children

    Great attention to detail. The grand boys were 8, 6 and 5. They all caught fish, played with the bait, looked for shark teeth and had fun in the ocean. A great experience at a reasonable price.

    Great Trip!

    3.5 Hr Guided Beach Fishing Trip - 7:00 AM on June 13, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 children

    Had a great time with 5 kids, 2 dads and 2 grand dads with Captain Loren. He worked really hard to put us on to fish. Prolly caught 10-15 fish between everyone, though no keepers. Kids had a blast and was a great intro to fishing for them. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone, especially larger and/ or mixed generational groups.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
My name is Loren, and fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine. Originally from Maine, I spent years fishing the lakes, rivers, and coastline of New England before relocating to Southwest Florida in 2021. Since making Florida my home, I have dedicated countless hours to learning the area's beaches, tides, seasonal fish patterns, and unique coastal ecosystem. As an avid beach angler, I have developed a deep appreciation for the challenge and excitement that comes with fishing directly from the shoreline. From targeting pompano in the surf to chasing snook, redfish, sea trout, and other inshore species, I enjoy sharing the knowledge and techniques that make beach fishing such a rewarding experience. When I'm not on the beach, I work as a telecommunications lineman and enjoy spending time with my wife of over 10 years and our four children. Family is at the heart of everything I do, which is why I built Southwest Florida Beach Fishing Adventures to be a welcoming experience for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're introducing your child to fishing for the first time or you're an experienced angler looking to learn more about the local waters, my goal is to create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every guest. What started as a personal passion for fishing has grown into a desire to help others experience the beauty of Southwest Florida's beaches, wildlife, and incredible fisheries. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a guest catch their first fish or land a personal best.
