Trail Tips
Check Tide Schedules
Paddleboarding conditions can change with the tide, so plan your trip around high tide for calmer water and easier navigation.
Bring Sun Protection
Paddleboarding exposes you to the sun for hours; wearing sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses will keep you protected.
Wear a Personal Flotation Device
For safety, always wear a life vest when paddling, especially if you’re new to paddleboarding or venturing farther from shore.
Secure Your Gear
Use leash cords and dry bags to keep your board and belongings secure while on the water.
