Each year the Orange Beach Full Moon Paddles for kayakers fills up it's registration early. 'Night Paddles' are a very peaceful cruise cruise through the local waters. If you have not experienced the tranquility it is advised to do these with professional groups.

The City of Orange Beach will host three Full Moon Paddle events this summer at the Wind and Water Learning Center, located behind the Orange Beach Public Library at 26267 Canal Road.

Each event will feature dinner provided by local restaurants and live music. Afterward, participants will paddle Wolf Bay to watch the sunset and the full moon rise over the water.

The paddles are scheduled for the following dates:

• Friday, June 13 
• Friday, July 11 
• Friday, August 8 

These evenings promise great food, entertainment, and community fun for a good cause.

On June 13, food will be provided by Alabama Coastal Catering and music by Chandler Wells. July 11 will feature the Wharf Catering Group with College Bound Music X 2 performing. The August 8 event will again be provided by Alabama Coastal Catering, with entertainment by Ben Lake.

The registration fee is $35 per person. Participants are encouraged to bring their own kayak, personal flotation device (PFD), and a white light. Kayak rentals are available for an extra fee.

Rental kayaks must be reserved in advance. All participants must register ahead of time. For more information, visit Orange Beach Wind & Water Learning Center. Registration opens May 1st.

Proceeds from the events will benefit the Baldwin County Child Advocacy Center. Donations are also welcome to support this important cause.
