''This is an exceptionally well-done sea kayaking guide to the tropical water paradise of the Florida Keys.''

This first-of-its-kind all-color chartbook specifically for paddlers is the result of kayaking every bit of the 100-mile island chain. It features color charts and photographs, resources on launches, campsites, paddle-friendly lodging and restaurants, hidden waterways, fishing and bird-watching sites -- all with GPS coordinates.

From sophisticated South Beach to pristine island backcountry, we've visited every one of Florida's nearly 400 beaches and compiled the details in this handy guide.

We tell you whether the beach is accessible to people with disabilities, child-friendly, pet-friendly, if lifeguards are present, and whether you can ride horses, camp, hike or drive on the beach. We even include those island beaches accessible only by boat.
