        Intracoastal Waterway. Visitors can rent a canoe and paddle along a mile-long
        freshwater lagoon or fish from the seawall. Nature lovers can hike along two short
        trails and learn about local plants and wildlife while bicyclists and skaters glide
        along the paved park road. Visitors can access the beach via the pedestrian tunnel
        under A1A. Picnic areas overlook the channel.
