Astronomy at the Beach

Come see space like never before with the help of local astronomers. The field will be filled with telescopes and knowledgeable people who will be thrilled to share their knowledge with you. The official Schedule can be found below but is entirely optional as astronomers will be in the field the whole time.

While the event is free, a state park pass is required. Carpooling is recommended if you do not have one.
