Bear Week Kayak Adventure!

Join us for a Boy Beach Kayak Adventure during Bear Week! It’s rare when the tides match up and we can reach boy beach by kayak, so consider yourself lucky if you’re in town! Starting from the West End Marsh we’ll paddle alongside the ‘breakwall’ (a 1.5-mile rock jetty), through seagrasses, and stop at boy beach to have some boy beach fun! P.S. The rock jetty and dunes prevent large fish, such as sharks, from entering the marsh. All bodies are welcome to paddle with us on this guided experience.
