History
The Cape's tidal marshes were shaped by glacial deposits at the end of the last Ice Age; the region’s coastal protections grew in prominence after mid-20th-century conservation efforts.
Conservation
Practice low-impact paddling: avoid nesting areas, keep distance from wildlife, and carry out any trash to protect fragile marsh habitats.

Check tides before you go
Tides shape access to channels and sandflats—book a favorable tide window and confirm launch details with the operator.
Wear sun protection
Open water reflects sun; use SPF, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and UV exposure.
Bring a dry bag
Protect phones, snacks, and a light layer—operators usually provide dry bags but bring one for extra security.
Reserve private sessions early
Private and family bookings fill quickly in summer—reserve early to get your preferred time and tide.
Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
Required for safety and typically provided, but bring a preferred PFD if you have one.
Water shoes or neoprene booties
Protect feet on rocky launches and in cooler water during spring paddles.
