I love renting Paddleboards from Julian and paddling around the island inlets! It's really easy to reserve and pay for the board rental online, and you just pick them up on the island. Julian is easy to get a hold of via phone if you have any questions or issues getting there or finding the pick up area. The water is calm in the inlets so it's easy for beginners. You can get amazing photos of the skyline from there, so bring your camera and rent the dry bag so you can keep it with you on your board
