Product Description
Product Description
The region from the southernmost point of the Florida peninsula, stretching south and west to the Dry Tortugas National Park, is one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the continental United States, and there's no better way to explore it than by kayak. Here, the freshwater temperate latitudes meld with a tropical marine environment to create unique paddling opportunities. In the nearshore waters, secret mangrove tunnels, unending beds of turtle grass and colourful sponge flats contrast with the vibrant coral-studded waters found offshore. Bill Keogh is your guide to this paddler's paradise. Each trip in this title includes a chart, route suggestions, information on distance, tides and winds, and safety tips. There is also information on the wildlife, habitats and ecosystems that will be encountered as well as historical and natural features of the sea.

feature-full
5 Oct 2004
Good read, good trips, precise GPS coordinates, and a significant naturalist section to boot! Match the critters you see against drawings in the book to find out what they are, what they eat, and how they live.

Guide needs an update
12 May 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
We took this book with us for a paddling trip in the Florida Keys.
The book definitely needs to be updated. We couldn't do some of the day trips we wanted to because the put-in sites listed in the guide were no longer available -- blocked by locked gates.
When I ordered the book, I didn't realize that the publication date of the "all-new guide to sea kayaking trips" was 2004!
Good descriptions of what you might see on each outing -- if you can get out on the water.
