Saltwater Shoreline Fishing Licenses

Residents

Florida residents who only saltwater fish from the land or a structure attached to land, may get the no-cost resident recreational saltwater shoreline fishing license.  This license does NOT cover anyone fishing from a boat or from an island that they arrived at by boat. 

Individuals who hold a recreational saltwater fishing license or any other license that includes recreational saltwater fishing privileges do not need a shoreline fishing license.

Non-Residents

Non-residents are not eligible for this license and must purchase a 3-day, 7-day or annual non-resident saltwater fishing license when saltwater fishing in Florida unless covered by a charter or pier license.
