The paddle begins under the Blue Heron Bridge, where sunlight fractures through the surf and the inlet seems to breathe beneath you. In a clear kayak you float like a glass-bottomed lantern, watching seagrass wave and small fish thread the shallows while the island’s shoreline grows larger: low dunes, palm fringe and the concrete outline of Peanut Island’s Cold War-era bunker.
