Sea Kayak - Penn Cove

Depending on weather conditions we’ll explore Penn Cove and perhaps paddle out toward Saratoga Straight. We’ll view the lovely town of Coupeville from the water, perhaps check out the commercial mussel farm. Penn Cove is a marine preserve, part of the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.
