Mangrove and Hidden Beach Kayak Tour | Siesta Key

This tour starts at Turtle Beach on the South end of Siesta Key.   We start on the intercostal and paddle down a short canal to the mangrove islands of the Jim Neville Preserve.   This is such a beautiful place to paddle, with twists and turns around the mangrove islands.  At the mid-point of the tour, we stop at Midnight Pass Beach, which boasts some of the most remarkable shelling in the area. This beach is only accessible by boat so we may have it to ourselves.  Such a beautiful place for a quick swim or just stopping for a few moments to relax.  On the way back, keep your eyes open for lazy manatees,  frolicking dolphins, or hunting seabirds.
