Inflatable Kayak Blog

While we were searching for a place to vacation next Spring, I ran across an interesting kayaking spot southeast of Orlando, Florida near Melbourne Beach. It’s called Mullet Creek and it looks like a really fun place to kayak.

In the early 1950′s a series of islands and canals were dug by Mosquito Control to form the area. I have read that one reason this is a great kayaking location is because the motorboats have a slow speed limit and you don’t have to worry about dodging big wakes. But the most alluring reason to kayak in the Mullet Creek area is the wildlife. Dolphins come into the area daily to feed on mullet. We really enjoy paddling among jumping mullets, but encountering dolphins while paddling would be so cool! Another sea mammal that you very seldom see, the Manatee, also frequents the area. Other wild life including bald eagles, river otters and osprey make it a place we would love to visit, especially since one of our main goals when paddling our inflatable kayak is to get some great photos on our adventures.
