🌴PARADISE FOUND - WOMEN 50+ PORT CHARLOTTE, PUNTA GORDA🌴

☕WEEKLY COFFEE CHAT - Paradise Gal Pals Morning Hangout 🌴
WHEN: Every Monday, 9:00-11:00 AM
Please RSVP if you're coming - I'll be there if there's at least one other person to chat with! 😊
WHERE: Harborside Coffee & Creamery, Punta Gorda
THE VIBE: Casual coffee & conversation with friendly faces. Plus DOLPHINS!!🐬
THE PLAN: Get coffee, then we grab one of their onsite Adirondack chairs & put our toes in the sand down by the water (weather permitting). Yes, the beach really is good for you! Peer reviewed research shows that sunshine and toes in the sand:
✓ reduces inflammation,
✓ improves sleep,
✓ reduces pain
✓ Feels good (sensory experience)
✓ Connects you to nature (proven mental health benefit)
✓ Encourages mindfulness (being present)
✓ Slows you down (removes shoes = intentional)
✓ Beach environment itself is therapeutic (sound of waves, negative ions from ocean, vitamin D from sun)
PARKING:
Harborside has parking just outside their door - see map in photo. Look for Maureen's big white sun hat!
CAN'T FIND US?
Check event comments for day-of updates or message the organizer.
See you Monday! ☕🌴

WEEKLY BEACH HANGOUT 🏖️ Sun, Sand & Sisterhood
By popular demand, changing the day to Tuesday morning - bring your chair and join us at the beach!

🌴WHEN & WHERE
Every Tuesday
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Englewood Beach (we'll change beaches sometimes - stay tuned!)

☀️WHAT TO EXPECT
The most laid-back unstructured gathering ever - literally just hanging out together at the beach!

🌊THE VIBE:
Set up your chair in the sand with us
Chat, walk the shoreline, collect shells, or just zone out watching the waves
Some weeks we might walk together, other weeks we just sit and talk (don’t worry, nobody is forced to share)
Sometimes we go out to lunch afterwards

☀️WEATHER
We meet cloud cover or shine (unless there's rain, lightning or severe weather).

Check event comments morning-of for any weather cancellations.

🏖️FINDING US AT THE BEACH (See photo map)
Park in the lot near the bathrooms, then walk between the two picnic pavilions next to the basketball court. Go through the split in the turtle fence and head straight to the water — our spot is right there on the sand.

Look for the big blue umbrella with NEON PINK streamers — you can't miss it!
If you can't find us, text me and I'll wave you in!

🌊Questions? Drop them in the comments or message me directly.
See you Tuesday, Paradise Gal Pals!
