Beach Bash
Tomorrow | 4pm - 7pm | Herring Cove
Join us for an afternoon of beach fun! Be sure to bring your swimsuit, a beach towel, and a picnic dinner for a relaxing oceanside afternoon.
EVERYONE - remember not to climb on the dunes. The beach is a protected habitat (and you might get poison ivy and no one wants that 😊)!
Teen COLAGErs, don't miss the COLAGE Teen Zone!
IMPORTANT DETAIL: There are NO concessions available at the beach this year. Bring your own snacks (no glass) or pre-order your picnic meal with Box Lunch to be delivered that evening.
High tide is at 3:35 on Tuesday, July 29 so we should have more beach appear throughout the evening!
