Скачать или смотреть Family Kayaking in Sanibel: Tarpon Bay Adventure with Kids | Florida Nature Trail

Looking for an easy, scenic, and family-friendly kayaking spot in Sanibel, Florida? Let me introduce you to Tarpon Bay, one of the best hidden gems on the island- perfect for beginners, families with kids, or anyone craving a peaceful paddle through nature.

🚣‍♀️ Why We Love It:
We kayaked Tarpon Bay all the time back when we lived in Fort Myers—before we had kids! Now, bringing our little adventurers back was so special. Same beautiful mangroves and wildlife… just with more snack breaks. 😉

🛶 What to Know Before You Go:
✔️ Bring your own kayak or rent from Tarpon Bay Explorers (they offer canoes and paddleboards too!)
✔️ Lifejackets are required — available onsite
✔️ Super shallow + easy launch = great for beginners and kids
✔️ Tide tip: Go a few hours after low tide for calm, clear water and easy paddling

🌿 Commodore Creek Trail:

20 min paddle to the mangroves
~90 minutes round-trip through magical mangrove tunnels
Feels like a jungle adventure — and it’s well-marked!
🐚 Pro Tip:
Stop in the shallow water on your way back to search for shells and sea creatures. My kids were obsessed.

💡 Extras:
🚗 Free parking
🚻 Restrooms onsite
🛍️ Small gift shop with drinks, snacks, and surprisingly cute souvenirs!
