See all- Sunset Paddle in Hobe SoundJimmy Graham Park, Hobe Sound, FL
JOIN US FOR A SUNSET PADDLING EXPERIENCE
We'll launch from Jimmy Graham Park then paddle to a secret spot on the beach and watch the sunset to the west and then we'll go over the ocean and hang out and watch the stars come out. We'll head back when everyone is ready. Just a nice chill evening paddle. You do need to bring a headlamp so you can be seen on the water. Bring a headlamp with a red light option if you have one (red light is optional) It's turtle nesting season so no lights on the beach including cell phones.

Event Details

- Must Have Safety Equipment for Night Paddling: Per U.S. Coast Regulations; you must have a light that allows you to see and to be seen. We often use headlamps for night paddles. The brighter the better. Bring a headlamp with a red light option if you have one (red light is optional). Red lights don't bother sea turtle moms.
