Adventure Out!

T

ruth be told, not all of us are ready to hit 

the trails with nothing more than a pack of 

jerky and an old-school compass or to get 

jiggy with it when we’re downwind of a pungent 

bucket full of chum and looking at the business end 

of a fi leting knife. Some of us are a little more on 

the citifi ed end of the spectrum and need to take it 

slow in getting acquainted with our inner outdoors-

people. 

So where to start? Even if your idea of roughing it 

means you still have a power source for your straight 

iron and can charge your iPad every night, there are 

still ways to embrace the great outdoors…ish. 

The diverse landscape of Emerald Coast is rife 

with every kind of adventure, from watersports like 

kite surfi ng and snorkeling to treks through the trails 

and zip lining above the treetops. And who says you 

have to stick to just one? Try them all and expand 

your horizon—who knows, maybe you’ll fi nd out 

you’re far more daring than you thought. 

If you love all things aquatic, charter a fi shing trip 

to reel in some fresh catch for dinner or rent jet skis. 

Whether you get an adrenaline rush from speed or 

like to coast on the waves, you’ll fi nd the perfect way 

to enjoy the beauty of the beaches and the emerald 

green waters that have made the area a dream 

destination.
