Estuary Exploration:
St. Lucie Estuary, Stuart,
FL
 We
will paddle across the Indian River & through
mangroves to reach a beautiful, uninhabited beach.
This is St. Lucy Inlet State Park, and we may see
Ospreys, Pelicans, Sand Pipers, and other aquatic
birds. Upon arrival at the beach we'll take a swim
or a walk on the beach, relax and have lunch. Our
return is via a different route.
Estuaries
provide important habitat for mangroves, baby fish,
oysters, crabs, etc. It is a special experience to
paddle among the mangrove islands, then arrive at
the contrasting beach scene provided by the open ocean.
Here, the foliage changes to sea grapes, sea oats
and smaller plants that strive to keep the sand in
place (if only for a little while). Paddle with Atlantic
Coast Kayak's expert, naturalist guides and take your
understanding of this unique environment to a higher
level!
Cost: The cost
is $78 withsingle kayak rental, lunch, guide service
and beverages, or $60 per person in a double kayak
(must find your own paddling partner and register
together), or $35 with your own boat and gear.
