A first-come, first-served basis is used for beach cabanas, kiteboards, and kayaks at the North Concession. Besides the beach, Crandon Park is home to a range of ecosystems, including dunes, mangroves, coastal hammocks, and seagrass beds. The Bear Cut Preserve has many birding sites, guided tours, and offers a glimpse of the area's original natural landscape.
Aside from guided eco-adventures, Crandon Park Beach has a number of land-based excursions, including "Bike and Hike," "Expedition South Florida," and "Sea Turtle Awareness Program."
