Tucked just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg and Gulfport, Clam Bayou Nature Park is one of Tampa Bay's best-kept secrets for kayaking. Unlike the open Gulf, Clam Bayou offers sheltered, flat water that's ideal for beginners and families. The bayou is lined with dense mangrove tunnels that create a canopy of green overhead as you paddle through.
Clam Bayou is one of the top spots in Pinellas County to encounter manatees — these gentle giants frequently rest in the warm, shallow waters of the park. With our 100% transparent clear kayaks, you can watch dolphins, mullet, stingrays, and osprey as you glide silently through the preserve. It's a true eco-adventure in the heart of St. Pete.
Whether you choose our expert-guided eco tour or our self-guided rental, you'll launch from Clam Bayou Nature Park with all gear included. No experience necessary.
