Description
Time: varies according to tide and season
Location: Drakes Estrero / Drakes Bay Oyster Company
Drakes Estero Kayak Tour is one of the north bay's gems and this
is one of our best kayak tours in the Point Reyes National
Seashore! Once it opens July 1st, you can explore several arms
which are the homes to hundreds of bat rays and leopard sharks that
will swim lazily under your kayak in crystal clear waters! There is
an abundance of resident bird life: brown pelicans, white pelicans,
marbled godwits, willits, long-billed curlews, whimbrels, osprey,
great horned owls, and many, many more.
Launching from the beach at the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, we'll
paddle our kayaks out of Schooner Bay, crossing over to Home Bay
and up along the shores passing jellies, harbor seals, bat rays and
ochre stars until we reach the estero's beach at the mouth about 4
miles away. Here you can easily walk around to the ocean side and
explore the cliffs. Bring a lunch and come join us for a splendid
day of paddling in one of the most majestic places in Marin
County!
Appropriate clothing required.
