Join us for a fun morning of Kayaking at Turtle Beach
This month’s kayak event is at Turtle Beach on Siesta Key with SURFit USA as our guide!
Starting on the intracoastal, we’ll paddle down a short canal to Little Sarasota Bay and around the mangrove islands of Jim Neville Marine Preserve, then onto a secret beach.
We will also see the newly reopened Midnight Pass between Little Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the many changes in the landscape that Hurricanes Helene and Milton have made. Kayakers regularly see dolphins, osprey, herons, snook, and more!
SURFit launches the kayaks from the Turtle Beach Public Boat Ramp, and
plenty of parking is available.
Special Instructions:
Within 2 weeks of registering on the VNC website, you will be sent the website link to SURFit with the promo code to register with them and pay for your kayak rental. All attendees must pay on the outfitters website as there are liability waivers that must be signed.
Venice Newcomers receive a 25% discount on the kayak tour, which amounts to about $37.50/per person for a single or $75 for a double kayak.
NOTE: You will not be able to bring your own kayak for this tour.
Please allow at least an hour from Venice to get to south Turtle Beach.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in.
Plan to join us afterwards for lunch at the Sniki Tiki at Captain Curts Village, located at
