Double Kayak Rentals with Ike's Beach Service in Gulf Shores

Stretching along Alabama’s southern coastline, Gulf Shores offers salt-kissed breezes and translucent waters perfect for outdoor water adventures. Ike's Beach Service puts you right in the middle of it all with their Jackson Riviera Double Kayak rental — a watersport option designed to balance fun and safety on the Gulf’s gentle waves. Ideal for tandem paddling, this double kayak comes complete with two paddles and life jackets, allowing couples or friends to share the calm, crystal-clear waters of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or Perdido Key.

The beaches here are known for their white sand and slow-changing tides, and while the kayak rentals are flexible — available for 1 to 14 days — customers must take care to carry their gear off the beach every night. This ensures that the shoreline remains litter-free and accessible. Ike’s Beach Service distinguishes itself by providing straightforward, dependable service with local expertise; their knowledge of tide schedules and safe paddling routes enhances every outing.

Beyond the peaceful paddling experience, kayakers might spot dolphins feeding nearshore or wading shorebirds navigating the marshy edges. The surrounding coastline features natural oyster reefs and sea grass beds, critical for local ecosystems and rich wildlife. Whether you’re gliding past the Perdido Pass or steering through gentle estuaries and sandbars, you gain access to pockets of solitude often missed from land. Ike’s Beach Service holds a special place in Gulf Shores’ outdoor community — their rentals make paddling the Gulf’s waters approachable and hassle-free, perfect for visitors who want to add a fresh dimension to their beach days.

Paddling here is as much about connecting to the rhythm of the tide and wildlife as it is mastering strokes with a partner. It’s an accessible, active way to experience the southern Gulf coast’s unique blend of water and wildlife, all on your own schedule.
