Iguana removal in North Palm Beach: finger canals, docks, and the waterway

SoFlo Iguana Pros team May 22, 2026 6 min read

North Palm Beach is built around water — the lagoon, the North Palm Beach Waterway, and a grid of finger canals — so nearly every lot has an iguana route to it.

North Palm Beach is about as waterfront as a village gets. The Lake Worth Lagoon on the north end, the North Palm Beach Waterway, the Earman River and C-17, and a dense grid of finger canals mean almost every property has water on it or near it — and that means almost every property has an iguana route to it.

We cover the village, the waterfront and marina communities, and the country club. Being just down the coast, we respond quickly. The ZIPs and communities are listed at /service-areas/north-palm-beach.

The finger canals and the waterway

The finger canals and the North Palm Beach Waterway are lined with seawalls that iguanas burrow into and bask on all day. This is the most common North Palm call we get — a homeowner whose seawall is honeycombed with burrows and whose dock has become a basking platform.

The work is the standard waterfront sequence, done thoroughly: remove the residents, collapse and pack the burrows so the wall stops eroding, and guard the dock pilings so they can't climb back to the edge. On a continuous waterway like this, a monitored program holds far better than a one-time grab, because the water keeps feeding new animals down the line.

Old Port Cove, Prosperity Harbor, and The Anchorage

Around Old Port Cove, Prosperity Harbor, and The Anchorage it's dock and condo pressure — marina communities where iguanas work the seawalls, pilings, and shared landscaping. These are association jobs, and we run scheduled programs with documentation the board can keep.

One of our early Google reviews was an HOA common-area job right here in North Palm Beach — the kind of shared-seawall, shared-lawn work these marina communities need on a cadence, not a one-off call.

  • Seawalls and dock pilings burrowed and used as basking platforms.
  • Shared condo and marina landscaping grazed down.
  • Country-club lake banks and fairway edges dug into under mature cover.

The country club neighborhoods

The country-club neighborhoods get lake-bank and fairway-edge burrowing, and the mature landscaping gives iguanas cover to den in. We combine removal with bank and plant protection there, and keep records for the club or association so the program is documented and defensible.

Cost and response

Single-visit clear-outs start at $125, and monitored programs — which most waterfront and marina properties here end up on — run from $99 a month. The property walk and quote are free and in writing. Because the whole village is essentially waterfront, prevention along the seawall and piling edge is a bigger part of the job here than in most of the county.

Questions we hear

My seawall on the waterway is full of iguana burrows — can you handle it?

Yes — that's the most common North Palm Beach call. We remove the iguanas, collapse and pack the burrows, and guard the dock pilings so they stop using the seawall as a highway.

Do you work with the marina and condo communities?

We do. Old Port Cove, Prosperity Harbor, and the surrounding condo and marina communities get steady dock and seawall pressure, and we run scheduled programs with documentation for the associations.

Do you cover the country club neighborhoods?

Yes. The lake banks and fairway edges around the country club see regular burrowing, and the mature landscaping gives iguanas cover, so we combine removal with bank and plant protection.
