World Ocean Celebration Family Beach Day
Dive into a morning of ocean celebrations and community connections. Whether you're learning to swim or taking on the one-mile swim challenge, flowing through beachside Pilates, or participating in the ceremonial paddle-out, there’s something for everyone.
Beyond the waves, engage in hands-on conservation efforts like a beach cleanup or a dune restoration, or explore immersive art installations and live performances that highlight the intersection of creativity and environmental stewardship.
This event is more than just a day at the beach—it’s a powerful statement of our collective commitment to ocean conservation, fostering connections between art, community, and the natural world.
