CAPE COD TRAVEL WEBGUIDE


	Kayaking and kids are a nice fit -- the perfect mixture of adventure, wildlife and nature. Around Cape Cod, the pleasing sight of brightly colored recreational kayaks making their way across the scenic marshes, inlets and bays is becoming increasingly common. The calm Cape waters are ideal for both novice or experienced kayakers; there are many areas of unspoiled coastal waterways, with amazingly diverse bird and marine wildlife just waiting to be discovered. Combine all that with the friendly folks at the various kayak retailers & tour providers, and you have the ideal recipe for family kayak fun. When you venture out, you should be properly equipped for safety and comfort. Here's a list of items you should consider depending on the scope of your excursion: shirts and shorts made of synthetic blends that shed moisture and dry quickly; windbreaker; hat or visor; sunglasses with strap; shoes that you don't mind getting wet; change of clothes in a dry bag; sunscreen; snacks like Power Bars for quick energy; bottled water; chart and compass; signal devices (whistle, flashlight, strobe, flares, glow sticks) depending on the paddling location. Whether you get serious enough about kayaking to buy your own gear, or if you take lessons or a tour, your kayaking experience will undoubtedly be one that your family will always cherish.
