🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend 🇺🇸

If you’re heading out on the water this weekend, please paddle smart and stay aware of changing conditions. Holiday weekends bring significantly heavier boating traffic to our waterways, especially around passes, channels, and popular sandbars.

For the safety of our staff and guests, SUP Englewood will be CLOSED Saturday & Sunday due to expected holiday boating traffic. We plan to reopen Monday when conditions and traffic are expected to calm down.

A few important reminders before you launch:
🛶 Check the weather and wind before heading out
⚡ Turn on lightning alerts and monitor radar throughout the day
🚤 Stay visible and avoid boating channels whenever possible
🦺 Always wear your life vest and share your float plan
🌊 Be realistic about your paddling ability and changing conditions

We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend on the water. Thank you for understanding our decision to prioritize safety during one of the busiest boating weekends of the year.

We look forward to getting everyone back on the water Monday! ☀️🛶

A huge thank you to Bocilla Islands Conservancy Inc. for attending our Coffee & Conservation events and for continuing to bring meaningful conservation conversations back to their Palm Island community.

This is exactly what Coffee & Conservation was designed to do, connect neighbors, nonprofits, educators, and conservation advocates together so knowledge can ripple outward through our coastal communities.

While our original speaker, Kate Rose from Florida Sea Grant, unfortunately became ill and was unable to attend, we’re incredibly grateful to Kerry Kaiser from the Skyway Team Bird Rescue for stepping in and delivering such an eye-opening presentation on pelican rescue, rehabilitation, and wildlife protection. The conversation highlighted just how much small human actions can impact local bird populations and why education matters so deeply.

We’re also excited to see Bocilla Islands Conservancy continuing these important conversations within their own community, including their upcoming event featuring Ashley Cook with CHEC (Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center).

Working together, sharing resources, and educating our communities is how we create lasting stewardship for Southwest Florida’s waterways, wildlife, and natural spaces 🌎🦩🐬

Be sure to follow and support Bocilla Islands Conservancy Inc. and the incredible work they’re doing for their island community!

🌊 Quick Update from Don Pedro Island State Park

You may notice a new sign at the kayak launch. 👇

🚤 This area is now a 25 mph zone right off the dock, with the slow speed zone starting further south near markers #3 & #4.

For paddlers, that means a small route adjustment:

✅ Paddle south toward markers 3 & 4 before crossing
✅ Stay aware of boat traffic in this zone

At SUP Englewood, safety is always our priority. 🛶 We are actively advocating for this zone to be changed back to better support paddler safety and will keep everyone updated.

In the meantime, this signage will remain in place to help guide safe crossings.

Have questions before you head out? We’re here to help.

Some days the wind makes the call.

We cancelled paddling today due to strong winds, and tomorrow is under a small craft advisory so we’ll be sitting that one out too.

But there is some good news…
The beach at Don Pedro Island State Park reopened March 6th!

It’s still rustic, no docks, no facilities, just sand, water, and the quiet side of the island. Exactly the way many of us love it.

We’ll be watching the forecast and will be ready to get everyone back on the water as soon as conditions improve.

Until then, enjoy the view from the beach today 🌊

We are so grateful to share that we received the Ambush Award from Keep Charlotte Beautiful Florida this December 2025.

This award is a testament to all the volunteers, and community support we received to help clean our waterways. After Hurricanes Helene and Milton there was so much debris and so much desire to do something about it from our community.

You know who you are Waterway Warriors 🙌🏻🎉🎉 Thank you for showing up and cleaning up so much debris with us 🔥💕 We organized, coordinated, and donated time, kayaks and a boat to help rid our waters of debris. You all helped with power, paddling, volunteerism and a desire to make a difference. Together we changed our waterways. 🙌🏻

Most people only see the calm water.

They don’t see the life vests being checked.
The kayaks staged before sunrise.
The team making sure everything runs smoothly before the first guest arrives.

Prepared on land. Calm on the water.

And sometimes… manatees glide by to remind us why we do it.

If you’re going to paddle, paddle with people who take it seriously.

Birds overhead. Kayaks on calm water. A hidden beach waiting at the end. The water’s beautiful, the skies are clear, and tomorrow’s warming up. Reserve your paddle.
