You push off from a low sandy lip on Savaneta’s shore and the ocean accepts you, cool and quietly insistent. The kayak tracks a coastal line of pastel houses and reef-stippled shallows until the mangroves and a scatter of glass-smoothed pebbles announce Seaglass Island—a low reef you can step ashore and comb for sea-polished glass.
