Check the tide chart
Mid-tide often exposes sandbars and creates quieter channels for paddling; low tide may strand you if you plan to land on bars.
Bring reef-top shoes
Soft sand, oyster beds, and occasional shell beds make water shoes useful if you plan to step out onto sandbars or mudflats.
Wear a UV-blocking layer
Sun reflects heavily off the water; a long-sleeve sun shirt and reef-safe sunscreen reduce glare and sun exposure.
Leave no trace on the marsh
Avoid paddling through dense cordgrass and pack out all trash—salt marshes are fragile nursery habitats for many species.
Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
Often provided, but bring your own for comfort and better fit.
Reef-top water shoes
Protect feet from shells and provide traction on sandbar landings.
summer
Dry bag (small)
Keeps keys, phone, and snacks dry during the paddle.
Sunscreen and hat
Sun protection is critical with long exposure and reflective water surfaces.
