Every spot below can carry its own rules on top of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> average daily highs clear 59 \u00b0F from April through October. July is the warmest month, averaging 86 \u00b0F, and outside that window a wetsuit is what separates a short session from a comfortable one.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Rules and licences:<\/strong> The US Coast Guard treats a paddleboard as a vessel as soon as you leave the immediate swimming or surfing area. From that point a wearable life jacket for every person on board is required, together with a sound signal, and a white light after dark. Individual states add their own rules on top, so check the state boating agency before a longer trip.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Rentals nearby:<\/strong> OpenStreetMap lists 2 places within 16 miles that hire out boards, kayaks or canoes: Annapolis Canoe and Kayak and Capital Sup. Call ahead, opening times outside the main season are short.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Paddle Board in Maryland<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> While we strive for accuracy, always verify details before paddling.
