Watersports adventures just 12 minutes from Garden City Beach

Garden City's Best-Kept Water Secret

Garden City Beach is the quiet gem of the Grand Strand — locals know it, regulars protect it. But even Garden City regulars are surprised when they discover Island Adventure Watersports, just 12 minutes north on the Intracoastal Waterway.

While everyone else is fighting for a spot on the pier, you'll be riding jet skis through a nature preserve, cruising on a pontoon with a cold drink in hand, or partying on a tiki boat with your crew. Same chill Garden City energy — just on a different body of water.

What Guests Are Saying

"We rent in Garden City every June and this was our first time trying Island Adventure. Rented a pontoon for the day — the kids swam, we fished, and the whole ICW was basically ours. Already booked for next year."
