Kayak & Paddleboard Launch

The kayak launch at Bruce Beach provides access to the Pensacola Waterfront. It is a short walk from the parking area, so it’s recommended to have assistance or a cart for your kayak. The launch is handicap accessible. It is in a seagrass area, which is a pleasant spot for paddling and can help shield you from the wind.

Bruce Beach is located in downtown Pensacola.
