Several places are steady enough for you to paddle along the Florida shoreline around Pensacola Beach. We suggest you seek out these when you are here. 

Big Sabine Bay

Big Sabine Bay is one of the most popular areas for kayaking. Because of the calm and shallow waters, you will have numerous excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Some animals that frequent the area include manatees, herons, gulls, osprey, bald eagles, crabs, and plenty of fish swimming below you.
