This is one of my favorite places to admire the nearby historic Pasco County stilt houses. The mangroves are perfectly framing it! Let’s get a little closer by kayak!

So let’s paddle a little closer!

We hopped in our kayaks, left Durney Key, and paddled closer to the historic Pasco County stilt houses! It’s truly a window back in time. And by the way, do you see how clear the water is?! What a beautiful day!
