Check the Tide Schedule

Tide changes can affect water levels and current strength, so plan your trip around high or slack tide for the safest paddling conditions.

Wear Sun Protection

Bring a Waterproof Bag

Keep your valuables dry by storing them in a waterproof bag or case during your kayak or paddleboard rental.

Stay Hydrated

Paddling can be physically demanding, especially in summer months, so pack plenty of water to stay energized.
