A Hidden Gem
Natives’ Cove is a charming local destination perfect for relaxing, exploring, and enjoying various water and land activities. It offers guided kayak and paddleboard tours, eco-friendly boat charters to nearby islands, and opportunities to find hidden attractions like swingsets and pleasure cruises.

COMING SOON! GOBOAT Rental & Purchase
Unlike streamlined kayaks, canoes and paddleboards which are notoriously tippy, GoBoat, because it is round, is extremely stable, virtually untippable and can take waves from any direction. Plus, with GoBoat, you get far more usable surface area meaning you can literally go/reach anywhere on the boat without risk of capsizing.
