  2. Visit the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
    Make sure to travel inland and check out the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary! There are trails that lead through this beautiful, natural habitat. If youre feeling especially adventurous, grab a kayak or canoe and travel through a mangrove tunnel of sorts. If not, just relax under a tree on the bank and take it all in.
  3. Kayak or Canoe Along the Shores
    If you have a travel buddy, kayak west from the south end of the island all the way to East Beach. If you travel along these shores, youll be able to see some tropical birds and maybe even some dolphins.

    Snorkeling and scuba diving at Bowmans Beach is sure to impress everyone in your travel party! The waters are crystal clear, refreshing, and definitely unique from other travel destinations.
