Deadman’s Island, located in Gulf Breeze, is the perfect choice for a kayak destination. This small island is only accessible by boat, making it the perfect spot to enjoy white sandy beaches, calm water, snorkeling, fishing and paddleboarding or kayaking.
Visitors to Deadman’s Island can enjoy many coastal birds, crabs, fish and visiting dolphins. There are also a few man-made oyster reefs off of the island. This attracts fish and is also a nice place to snorkel and enjoy sea life.

Such a wonderful, untapped resource. You can also get permission to camp @ Dead Man’s. It’s not a huge camping area, but plenty for a family and the lights along Pensacola Bay are gorgeous at night!
