Canoeing & Kayaking

The Pelican Bay Foundation provides canoes and kayaks for use by Pelican Bay Members and their Guests. This relaxing and enjoyable amenity is available at the North Boardwalk at Inner Clam Bay. All arrangements are on a “first come, first serve” basis and can be made at Tram Station #6 at the beginning of the North Boardwalk. Before you begin, your journey through the mangroves please fill out the watercraft waiver. We'll provide you with paddles, a map of Clam Bay with usage procedures, a key to unlock the gate and life-jackets.
