Rose Bay is a coastal saltwater bay located near Port Orange and Wilbur-by-the-Sea in Volusia County, Florida. It is part of the Intracoastal Waterway system. The primary paddling character is calm, protected water, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. The main access point for paddlers is Port Orange Park at Rose Bay, a small park with a designated launch point. This site offers amenities including picnic tables, bathrooms, and parking. A second, formal access point is the Wilbur Boathouse, which serves as the sole designated start and end point for the Wilbur Rose Blueway paddling trail. This trail utilizes the Intracoastal Waterway and the tributaries of Rose Bay. The bay is known for significant wildlife viewing opportunities, with frequent sightings of manatees, dolphins, porpoises, and a variety of birds. The surrounding area features residential views. As a tidal bay connected to the Intracoastal Waterway, paddlers should plan for tidal currents. The connection to the Intracoastal also means paddlers should be prepared for potential powerboat traffic, especially when near the main channel. There are no indications of a surf zone at the primary launches, suggesting protected, inland access.
