A great intro into Sea Kayaking, Sand Island off of Dauphin Island along Pelican Bay provides beginners and veterans with abundant marine wildlife, white sand beaches and green and gold sea oats for viewing pleasure. Begin from Dauphin Island beach near Isle Dauphin Golf Club as you make your way through the waters of the gulf of Mexico. Depending on your time commitment, you can choose to paddle around the island or paddle along one side. Harsh southerly winds and hurricanes continue to push the sands northward, ever changing the landscape of this island. Always get a weather report before paddling upon open water.
