Paddle for the Pass is a community-wide conservation event bringing together paddlers, boaters, beach walkers, and volunteers to help protect the waters of Lemon Bay and Stump Pass Beach State Park.

Hosted in partnership with Englewood Beach Waterfest, SUP Englewood, Florida State Parks, Keep Charlotte Beautiful, USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 87 and Charlotte County Young Professionals, this event celebrates environmental stewardship, boating safety, and our shared commitment to preserving one of Southwest Florida’s most treasured coastal ecosystems. The USCG Auxiliary is providing on-water rescue services and radio support.

Whether participants are on the water or helping from shore, everyone has an opportunity to make a positive impact.
