Kayaking in Rosemary Beach, FL

The shore of Rosemary Beach

The pristine, white sand beaches of Rosemary Beach will hypnotize anyone whose ever gazed at their beauty up close. I was tempted to just luxuriate on the beach, gazing at the turquoise waves but  one of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty is to rent a kayak and glide along the Gulf Coast.

Sea Oats Beach Service supplies kayaks or surf boards right on the beach. Since Im not the most graceful or balanced person, I passed up the surfboards and selected a kayak for leisurely beach fun. Paddling out to the second sand bar, I watched for dolphins but didnt spot any. Instead,I floated along the seascape, glimpsing frolicking fish just below the surface.  The sun really blazes down on a kayak, I advise wearing lots of sunscreen and a sunhat.  After a few hours of  kayaking, the best way to cool off is at New Orleans Sno- Balls.  Ensconced in the town square right next to Bamboo Bikes, this little shop represents cool literally and figuratively.  The ice treats are made the traditional New Orleans style, with a fluffy consistency that absorbs the flavored syrup much better than the brittle, icy variety.  Its a tradition to get more than one flavor at a time, with the most popular  of the 20-odd flavors being nectar and wedding cake.  I chose a blend of nectar, which tastes like taffy to me and dreamcicle.
