##Here is what to bring for your activity:
Wear clothing that would be comfortable for a walk on the beach that day. We recommend closed-toe shoes for this excursion since we will be traveling in golf carts along unpaved roads.

During Spring and Fall mornings and evenings bug spray may be necessary.
