Though it isn't always obvious the treasures we find on the beach can tell us stories about the land, the ocean and the beach itself.

While strolling Laudholm Beach, we will explore the shore through questions about and investigations of sand, the wrack line and found objects.

Program will start at the Gazebo with a quick introduction to tides before we head down the trail (~15-20 min walk) to the beach.

Hats, water, sunscreen, and footwear that works both for the trail and beach are recommended.

Program duration is about 2 hours and ends at the beach.
