Taking the boat out is one of the greatest ways to relax, work on your tan, and have one heck of a good time. For a list of boat launches and marinas along Highway 59, visit Beaches of 59’s website.

Road trips are a great way to have tons of fun and see interesting and exciting things, but the one downside is that there is only so much your vehicle can store. If you love to paddle but are running out of room to bring your board or kayak with you, don’t worry about it, Hillside Boards has you covered. Hillside Boards offers rentals for Stand Up Paddleboards and kayaks for reasonable prices!
