Caxambas Park & Marina
This is the BEST place to rent a kayak or paddleboard.
The area is surrounded by barrier islands and sand bars only accessible
by kayak and paddle board. These sand bars are loaded with sand dollars,
conch shells, sea urchins and other incredible sea shells that you can't
find on the regular beach. While you are kayaking from sand bar to sand
bar and shelling, keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins, manatees
and stingrays. The best time to visit this park is at low tide as this
allows the sand bars to be fully exposed for better shelling. We recommend
renting for 2-3 hours at the park. Here are driving
directions
- Caxambas Park, 909 Collier Ct, Marco Island, FL 34145.
UPDATE:
This park has been closed by Collier County for construction due to Hurricane
Ian. It won't re-open to commercial activity until 2025. You can still
rent a kayak from us and bring it in, inside or on your vehicle and enter
the park as a private recreational user. Or just kayak with us at the
Paddlecraft Park instead (read below for info).
Capri Paddlecraft Park
This park is loaded with unmarked mangrove tunnels! These
mangrove tunnels are only 15 minutes away from the kayak launch and don't
worry, we provide you with a great map so you can follow the trails. Once
you're in the tunnels, keep you eyes peeled for mangrove tree crabs, raccoons
and jumping mullet. In the open bay you may see dolphins and manatees.
There are no sand bars or islands to get out of your kayak, so plan on
being on the water. We recommend kayaking or paddleboarding here for 2
hours.
If you don't want to go at it alone, book our guided kayak
tour. Here are driving
directions
- Capri Paddlecraft Park, 1295 Capri Blvd, Naples, FL 34113.
