##About: Those who are new to kayaking should acquire a proper paddling technique prior to venturing out of our lagoon. There are several routes you can take, depending on your fitness level and allotted time frame of your rental. Beginners and nature lovers will enjoy gently kayaking through the tranquility of upper back bay, known as one of the best bird watching spots in the USA. Capture views of endangered species and take in the unmistaken beauty of one of few coastal ecological refuges in California.
