If you think you’ve seen everything Florida’s Emerald Coast has to offer, think again. Tucked between Scenic Highway 30A and Panama City Beach lies one of the most unique ecosystems in the world, Lake Powell, and now, there’s no better way to experience it than with Get Up And Go Kayaking – 30A.

A One-of-a-Kind Destination

Lake Powell isn’t just any lake, it’s the largest coastal dune lake in Florida and all of North America, spanning nearly 800 acres of pristine water.

Even more impressive? Coastal dune lakes are incredibly rare, found in only a handful of places around the world like New Zealand and Madagascar.

What makes them so special is their unique blend of freshwater and saltwater, creating a brackish ecosystem that supports an incredible variety of wildlife, from fish and birds to dolphins near the outflow areas.

Experience It All in a Clear Kayak

At Get Up And Go Kayaking – 30A, you don’t just paddle across the water, you see through it.

Our 100% clear kayaks offer a completely immersive experience, giving you a front row seat to the natural beauty below the surface. As you glide across Lake Powell, you’ll witness:

  • Schools of fish swimming beneath you
  • Unique aquatic vegetation
  • Reflections of coastal dunes and pine forests
  • Occasional wildlife sightings like birds, turtles, and more

It’s kayaking but elevated into something unforgettable.

Explore Nature at Its Best

Bordering Camp Helen State Park, the lake is surrounded by protected land filled with native wildlife and untouched beauty. Visitors often spot:

  • Osprey and herons soaring overhead
  • Fish and aquatic life in the tannin-rich waters
  • Native plants and coastal dune landscapes

The area has even earned an “Outstanding Florida Waters” designation, highlighting its ecological importance and pristine condition.
