Early morning light strips the harbor bare of glare and the marina exhales as kayaks shuttle toward Land’s End. Guides clip leashes, hand out paddles and safety vests, and the group slips from the dock into water so clear the ocean floor seems to move beneath a glass floor. Paddling toward the Arch, rock faces rise abrupt and sculpted by wind and wave; the sea nudges kayaks close enough for a clear view while the guide points out the sea lion colony sunning itself nearby.
