You push off a low, sandy launch and the kayak whispers onto the glassy surface of the Indian River Lagoon. Salt-sweet air moves over tidal flats; a slow-nosed manatee surfaces nearby, nostrils breaking the mirror, and a flash of gray arcs where a dolphin plays in the channel. The water here is calm enough for first-timers yet rich enough in life to keep you watching.
