Due to their aerodynamic design, kayaks are handy for carving up currents or being repurposed as bicornered hats on windy days. Embrace streamlined style with today's Groupon: for $36, you get two four-hour kayak rentals at Indian River Marina in Clinton (a $72 value).

At Indian River Marina, gentle currents of scenic tidal wetlands host kayakers of all skill levels during four-hour nautical treks. To start each paddling odyssey, guests select from a medley of vessels including tandem, convertible, and recreational kayaks before launching from the marina's shores. As bluejackets drift atop the intimate waterways, layers of blossoming frondescence volunteer leafy greens to create a flowing framework of natural surroundings. After four hours of high-fiving the gregarious tides, shellbacks return to the marina to picnic or shower away the tears of overly attached oars.

Beyond the bounty of breezy paddling opportunities, Indian River Marina operates as a daytrip-friendly destination. Downtown Clinton—located five minutes from the marina—encourages explorers to continue expeditions at local antique shops, art galleries, and Colonial-era homes housing sophisticated families of beavers.
