Although there is no public boat ramp (yet) on Virginia Key, kayakers can launch off the public beach and explore the island by sea. The Bill Sadowski Critical Wildlife Area is a no-entry zone, even for non-motorized vessels, but everything else is open for exploration. Dense seagrass beds comprised of turtle grass, manatee grass and shoal grass are within wading distance of the beach next to the coastal dune, where a diversity of fish, sponges, invertebrates thrive. These are prime feeding areas for wildlife, including sea turtles, manatees and dolphins.
