From the launch at Blue Heron, paddlers set a straight, sun-washed line for nearby Peanut Island — a compact, green speck whose shallow edges reveal a surprising cast of underwater life. Rentals come with boards and life jackets and offer a simple, self-guided way to spend an hour or an entire afternoon on the water.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Peanut Island’s close, sheltered waters

The island sits within easy paddling range of the Blue Heron launch, making for sheltered, approachable outings that reward steady strokes with shoreline views and shallow reef edges.

THE WILDLIFE

Vivid underwater life in shallow waters

The activity highlights the island’s underwater inhabitants — approachable spots for observing fish and reef life close to the surface.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Rent by the hour or take a full day

Rental options span short outings to multi-hour excursions, so you can slot a quick paddle into a morning or plan an extended exploration that fits your schedule.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Mount the board at the Blue Heron launch and let the pace be yours: gentle strokes between open water and shoreline, short, clear runs into shallow reefy areas, and long, lazy glides when you want to coast. Rentals include the basics — a board and life jacket — and leave room for you to bring a cooler, camera and snacks for a self-directed day on the water.
