Sunny days of kayaking along the coast - white sand beaches
dotted with Palms in some areas, beachfront mansions in
others. Frequent kayak buddies include pelican,
dolphin and sometimes even manatees.
Where white
sand beaches stretch as far as you can see and the shore is
lined with exotic seashells. It's a world of tropical
wildlife, spectacular sunsets over sparkling waters and
hundreds of islands to explore
This route follows the coast, so many
places to pull out and stretch, have lunch, or just hang on
the beach. We will spend warm sunny days out on the
water, and cool evenings by the fire! Temps range from 50-60
at night and 70-80 during the day.
