The quiet, protected mangrove waters offer a wonderful setting for canoeing and kayaking. This is complimented with a variety of wildlife from birds and fish to raccoon and mangrove crab. These waters are the “nursery” for many shells as well as shrimp and fish. Along with the historic mounds of the Calusa Indians that originated from this area, you are in for a great ride. There are many canoe and kayak trails in and around Bokeelia. For the fisherman in your family, this can be a rewarding experience as you glide into a bay and land a big catch.
