Vast and tranquil, Pleasant Bay is one of the Cape’s natural tidal rivers, with a rich history as a seafaring port and fishing grounds for many, both past and present. The paddling is plentiful and the water is shallow. This tour paddles out among a few of the islands while gliding over eelgrasses and an abundance of life below.
