Kayak the Santa Rosa Sound
Kayaking is one of the best ways to experience all that the Santa Rosa Sound has to offer. This adventure is great for older kids in their own kayaks or for younger children sharing an adult’s kayak. There’s a good chance you’ll spot wildlife including osprey, bald eagles, rays and even dolphins fishing for mullet. There are multiple ways to get the Santa Rosa Sound including Liza Jackson Park and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Local Scout Tip
The Santa Rosa Sound is an active waterway, so use caution when crossing the channel and look our for passing boats and other marine traffic.
