Caladesi Island Kayak Hike and Beach Picnic!! - November 27, 2011

High winds and choppy waters proved a task as students ventured out to Caladesi Island and enjoyed the day observing the scenery and exploring the island.  Although the seas were rough rendering the ability to see the mangrove trail, students made it to the island.

"Thanks again for hosting it, Aaron and I both had a blast" - T. Michelsen

Meeting Location Map

The mangrove-covered kayak trail at Caladesi Island leads you through several different natural communities as you explore the island's interior, which winds from the marina to St. Joseph Sound and back.

Students grouping together for the van ride will need to meet at the Clearwater Campus south side of the NM building between 8:30am - 9:00am.  The van leaves promptly at 9:00am.

We wil launch the kayaks and canoes from the Dunedin Causeway right by Sail Honeymoon Inc. and paddle over to the island, explore the kayak trails as seen below.

Bring your lunch and even something to share.  Keep in mind kayaking can be physically demanding bring plenty of water, sun screen, hat, et cetera.
