We have paddled more than 20
hours in Florida waters with our new kayaks. If we had rented boats instead, we would have paid the same money and not own these beautiful watercraft and had so many curious locals ask about them.

Turtle Beach Campground was destroyed by hurricane Milton. And all these months later, it still has not been reopened or had any repairs made by Sarasota County Parks. Would love to camp there again one day!
