Pines & Palms Resort has teamed

Pines & Palms Resort has teamed up with our friends at the world famous Bud n' Mary's Marina. Yup, these are the same fishermen you've been seeing all these years on television and in countless magazine and newspaper articles.

We now make it easy for you to book with our select group of the finest offshore & backcountry guides or book a spot on our spectacular party fishing boat. If diving, snorkeling, or kayaking is your thing, we've got that covered too.
