Join us for snacks and enjoyment along the Main Beach of Bald Head Island.
This event page will be updated no later than 10:00am on Sunday, July 2nd if this event needs to be delayed due to inclement weather.
This event is being held on a 1.2km (approx) long sand beach, on the Bald Head Peninsula which separates Weller's Bay from Lake Ontario.
This area is an ISLAND, which means you will need to do one of the following to get there:
1. launch a kayak, canoe, paddle board, or motorized vessel from one of the 15 or so paid or free launches on Wellers Bay. One of the free launches has been waypointed, at the end of Alyea Rd. There are several paid launches along Carter Road and Barcovan Beach Road with off-street parking.
2. Take the "Beach Taxi" at your expense, to the landing point on the east side of the island and then walk to the north side. The "beach taxi" is available from Barcovan Beach Road.
3. Swim across the channel to the island, from Barcovan Beach Road or Carter Road. This could be dangerous as this is a busy boating channel and is not recommended.
4. Contact me if you are interested in going but do not have any other means of getting there, as we may be able to arrange something
This will be a casual event - I will be located at the posted coordinates with a lawn chair, and will have a small table for gifts/trackable drops.
There will be a logbook to sign, if you choose, and an optional prize draw to participate in. Please feel free to bring trackables to move along, trade items or signature items to trade, or lawn chairs to sit down during the event.
Things you may want to bring: your watercraft, towel, dog snacks and beverages, water shoes, and clothes you don't mind getting wet!
This is a popular spot to swim, camp, and otherwise enjoy!
