Kayaking Weedon Island
If you like kayaking, there's a beautiful trail through the mangroves of Weedon Island. It's about 3 hours of paddling, some of it in open water. This needs to be timed right. You'll need a high-tide, and not much wind for the open portion back, but it's one of the best kayak trails to explore. Kayak rentals are offered by Sweetwater Kayaks right at Weedon Island.
