1. Paddle Your Way to Fun


Getting out on the water in the warm weather months is a treat for every traveler heading this way and solo adventurers are no exception to the rule. While you’re here, be sure to set aside time to rent a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe, and make time to get out and explore from the waves at your own preferred pace. While you’ll enjoy the privacy that comes with venturing out solo, you can rest assured there will be others out on the water with you when the weather is right.
