Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Paddle Boarding Lessons and Tours

Quick Details

✨ We’ve moved to an exciting new location! ✨

BIG LAGOON STATE PARK
12301 Gulf Beach Highway

We are by reservation ONLY and are not in the park at all times. We are an outside company so please do not call the park or ask Park Rangers where to find us, they will not know.

Our beautiful new launch location is an even shorter drive from Orange Beach, and just a few extra minutes from Gulf Shores. It is absolutely worth the short drive even if you’re staying in Gulf Shores! It is just out of the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach proper and is truly a hidden oasis tucked just outside of the main touristy areas so you will be sure to experience peace and serenity while on the water! We can’t wait for you to experience this incredible new spot with us!

Please note this is a NEW location as of Fall 2026 so if you have attended a class or tour with us before please note WE ARE NO LONGER RUNNING THESE CLASSES ON LITTLE LAGOON IN GULF SHORES unless specifically requested. 

Our new location is MORE beautiful, MUCH nicer waters, and has so much more to offer! If for some reason you still want to paddle at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, yes we can accommodate this, but unless you’re staying in Fort Morgan, we do not recommend this as our new location is incredible. Please call or text us to set this up. 251-391-4832

We are 100% woman owned and have been teaching people to paddle board since 2014!
