What to Bring

Plan just as if you are going to spend 3 hours at the beach swimming and exercising. If you or your child prefer to use goggles when swimming bring them. If you have a rubber wrist band like the yellow “Livestrong†type please bring it. This will help the new surfer identify his front hand and foot when positioning themselves on the board. You will need to bring:

____ sunscreen, ____ sunglasses, ____ a swim suit,

____ hat, ____ towel, ____ drinking water,

____ snacks, ____ chairs, and ____ umbrella (optional).

Parking

Metered Parking. Bring at least 12 quarters for 3 hours. Also, do not leave valuables visible in your car or anything that can be construed as valuables. Put your valuables in your trunk. The parking lots in this area are bordered by sea grape vegetation and our cars cannot be seen from the beach. Take a simple precaution. No purses visible on the seats; put them in the trunk.
