For experienced paddlers only please!
Please note: All tours and rentals are now done on Little Lagoon in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, Gulf Shores. Please do not use our online or Google Maps address…instead follow the link in your confirmation emails to the location.
Reservations are required.
This is our dream location with calm, protected, shallow waters, and is perfect for beginners and experienced alike. It is truly a hidden gem in Gulf Shores Alabama and located just a short drive from the Gulf State Park. We are the ONLY company legally permitted for commercial activity at this location.
Please also note: During summer months we recommend the 8 or 9am time slot before the heat index gets too high.
Guests enjoy a 1 hour paddle board rental in Gulf Shores at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge on Little Lagoon or lakeside at the Gulf State Park Campground near the Gulf State Park Beach Pavilion area. (We usually don’t mind if you keep the paddle boards a little longer IF conditions are good, but in the hot Alabama sun, most people feel an hour is enough anyway). Enjoy the calm waters of this beautiful beach while paddle boarding with family and friends and looking over the amazing views.
If you or anyone in your group has never paddle boarded, we do recommend taking our lesson and tour which includes a land lesson followed by a 1 hour guided experience and in water coaching from our expert guides.
Reservations can be made here. https://purealohaadventures.com/alabama/gulf-shores-paddle-boarding/
