Thanks guys. I looked at a map and don't see an exit for 79th Street. It's in Ft. Lauderdale area?

Advice for out of towner

I live in Palm Beach County and am embarrassed to say I've never taken my PWC to Broward. Renting a house on a navigable canal end of this month in Oakland Park and have friends coming from out of town. The owner of the home said the two closest boat ramps are Cherry Creek and Colohatchee.

Any sandbars to hang out at, fun spots, etc. Thanks in advance!
