One of the largest instructional waterfront centers in the country, at the south end of Santa Clara Point, renting kayaks and paddleboards on the calm bay and running sailing, surfing and wakeboarding classes plus a youth watersports camp. Kids must be 10+ and 65 lb to paddle their own craft; younger kids can ride along with an adult, and life jackets are required. No reservations for kayaks, and parking is tight on summer weekends.
