Two Harbors Dive & Recreation Center

If you're looking for watersports, the Two Harbors Dive Shop can hook you up with everything you need for adventure (they also rent bikes and even horseshoes for a quick game in the sand). They have everything needed for snorkeling, SCUBA diving, boogie boarding, kayak and SUP, as well as land recreation rentals like bocce ball, volleyball, tennis rackets, disc golf and beach lounge gear such as chairs and umbrellas. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and can guide you in the right direction: Looking to see baby sharks on a snorkel trip? Head to the north end of the cove. Want a white-sand, emerald-water cove all to yourself? Kayak about 40 minutes to Emerald Bay. The rates are a little steep the bigger the gear gets ($12 a day for bocce seems reasonable, $60 for a single kayak starts to push it), but it's well worth it for all the fun exploring there is to be done in and around Two Harbors.
