Gulf Kayaks, Breezes and Fine Tables

Anna Maria Island, FL | Adults | Spring | 3-day

The Gulf Coast is at its most inviting in its bloom months — warm water, long light, and a pace that invites lingering. Happy Paddler Kayak Tours winds through Neil Preserve's mangrove tunnels on award-winning eco-tours that feel like entering a separate world. Sea Rocket Parasail rises 400 feet above the bay every two hours. The Ringling's world-class art complex and Gilded Age mansion close a perfect afternoon. Feast Restaurant and Salt Bar provide two excellent evenings.
