  • "Our family had an amazing time out on the kayaks. Plenty of trails and wildlife in the Gulf State Park. We stopped at Matt's Ice Cream and the Old Candy shop for a rest. Then went back out to the beautiful bay."

  • "Best place to rent e-bikes! The staff was so kind and helpful. Prices were great too. They are located near the entrance to the State Park and we spent hours riding all over the park. If you want to rent an e-bike this is the place! We will be back."

  • "Super easy to work with as we got two e bikes to bike around town. They were very helpful and knowledgeable as we had never thought about e bikes. Took them around Gulf State Park and went and had lunch. Great bunch of folks, be sure to try them out."

  • "Took my wife on her first kayak trip. The people at E-Bikes and Boards were extremely nice and professional. The tandem kayak we rented was nearly half the price as another place just down the road. We would not hesitate using them again."
