What To Expect

Jim Neville Marine Preserve

Beautiful mangrove islands–a birders paradise. We will paddle around the mangrove islands on the way to the secret beach.
• Admission Ticket Free

Turtle Beach

We will pull our kayaks and paddleboards out of the water for a quick walk over the sand dune and to the Gulf of Mexico. From here, we will stretch our legs, maybe take a quick swim and just relax. This is a “secret” beach—only accessible by boat, so we may have the area to ourselves. It is such a beautiful and isolated beach–a local favorite.
