We understand everyone wants to enjoy different activities at the beach, therefore all activities listed are optional. These are just a few events we can participate in as a group. I highly encourage to book paid activities and travel, (if going by Amtrak) as soon as possible, as prices are subjected to change and/or quickly sell out.
Below are Hotel Reaervation Booking Links to reserve rooms along with planned activities and links to purchase tickets.
