Snorkeling and Paddle Boarding

One of the activities I enjoyed the most was snorkeling and paddle boarding off the beach at the Four Seasons resorts.  I was skeptical that the snorkeling would be any good without going out in a boat.  The hotels provided the equipment for free so I gave it a try.  Within 200 feet of the shore were some incredible reefs and a large number of tropical fish.  We also saw a number of sea turtles.  Brenda joined me a few times.

The hotels also had paddle boards for rent.  Our friend Marci and I gave it a try.  What fun!  You move a lot faster than it appears and the best part - the exercise.  It is an incredible lower body work out as you balance yourself on the board.  I may explore renting a board for Platte Lake!
