Paddling Don Pedro Island Cont
swim within a square foot of
where they are born. Always
place a dwarf seahorse back
where you found them to
help prevent them from being
separated from their mate.
The part of the island that
boasts the mangrove tunnel
and the hidden lagoon is very
private and rarely travelled.
The hidden lagoon is located
inside Don Pedro Island
and can only be reached
by traveling through the
narrow mangrove tunnel.
The first time I went through
the tunnel and entered the
hidden lagoon was breath
taking. The tunnel opens up
to the coastal lagoon. I would
consider the hidden lagoon
an ideal fishing location.
Check the tides before taking
23 | THE SAND DOLLAR
a paddling trip out here.
On a low tide, it’s almost
impossible to get all the way
through the tunnel. Due to
the narrow passageway, low
tides, and precious marine life
this trip is recommended for
non-motorized vessels only.
Marine life is abundant. In the
warmer months the manatees
can be seen frequenting the
area. Dolphins are usually
seen closer to the main
channel. After exploring the
inside of the barrier island,
take a break on the beach of
Don Pedro Island. Docks are
located only a short paddle
away from the mangrove
tunnel. Land access for kayaks
and paddle boards is located
behind the docks. Walking
trails and beach access is
located on Don Pedro Island.
Explore one of the most scenic
locations Englewood has to
offer. Paddling this location
makes for a perfect day trip.
