West Palm Beach is the Treasure Coast, a sailfishing stronghold where rivers, lagoons, and inlets braid together. Boaters here work Lake Worth Lagoon, the Palm Beach Inlet, and the Gulf Stream edge, and the fishing runs deep — Sailfish, Snook, Mahi-Mahi headline the local catch. With 17 public launch points in and around town, getting on the water is rarely the hard part; deciding where to point the bow is.
