Rocky Point Permit Camp is a saltwater fly‑fishing refuge where a coral reef literally meets land, creating an uncommon shoreline ecosystem that supports bonefish, permit, tarpon and a host of other species. The camp’s DIY, Grand‑Slam approach pairs flats fishing and wading just feet from camp with snorkeling, scuba and paddling in the adjacent lagoon, all delivered in a secluded setting that feels more like becoming part of a crew than a typical lodge.

THE PLACE

One of the few places a coral reef meets land

Rocky Point’s defining feature is its rare shoreline: a coral reef that touches land, creating immediate access to snorkel, scuba and flats‑fishing habitat right from camp.

THE FISHING

Grand‑Slam opportunities within steps

The camp’s DIY ethos puts anglers on bonefish, permit, tarpon, jack, barracuda and triggers with hands‑on fishing and wading opportunities just feet from your front door.

THE CAMP

A secluded, crew‑like home away from home

More than a fishing base, RPPC is presented as a true home away from home: secluded, supportive, and run with local knowledge and host expertise that encourage guests to craft their own days.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

Days at Rocky Point are modular and immediate: wake on the fringe of reef and flats, choose whether to wade for bonefish and permit, launch an SUP or canoe into the lagoon, or slip on a mask to explore reef life, all while relying on Pale Morning Drift Fly Fishing hosts for local knowledge, gear and support.
