The Blue ways Plan for Paddlers recommends enhancing the connectivity between existing water access points to provide a short daytime paddle excursion. The Parks included in the Blue Ways plan include Shoreline Park South, Woodland Park, Vista Park, and Wayside Park.
 
In July 2019, the City of Gulf Breeze joined the Florida Paddling Trails Association as an active Blueways Community, thus becoming part of the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail.
 
Exciting paddler and kayak upgrades coming soon!
 
January 10, 2019, after months of largely attended community meetings, the Gulf Breeze Blueways Plan gained approval by the Gulf Breeze Advisory Parks Board and City Council. The Plan promotes our waterfront destinations for kayaks and paddlers: Shoreline Park South, Woodland Park, and Wayside Park. In 2022, the City was awarded a $1.2 million FWC grant to design and implement the Plan. Upgrades include a relocated floating dock at Woodland Park with a new kayak launch, and numerous upgrades including a kayak launch at Shoreline Park South. Wayside Park is currently under repair from Hurricane Sally.

Improvements include new offerings for kayakers and paddlers.
