Lido Key Beach: Sunset Hangout & Stargazing

Lido Key Beach: Sunset Hangout & Stargazing
In collaboration with The Kindness Club - Unwind with Suncoast Nature Society as we soak in a Gulf Coast sunset and linger after dark for casual stargazing on Lido Key Beach. We’ll enjoy beach vibes, good conversation, and skywatching—perfect for meeting other 20s/30s nature lovers and catching constellations as they emerge over the shoreline.

LOCATION - Please see the pin on the map here, we will be at the bend ON THE BEACH where the gulf meets the bay. There should be plenty of parking at South Lido Park.

Drinks/Food After (Optional):
Optionally, for those who wish to mingle afterwards and grab a bite - join us at O'Leary's Tiki Bar & Grill.
