🏖️ Hike on the Beach

🌊 Ready to uncover one of Georgian Bay's best-kept secrets?
Join us for a day at Awenda Provincial Park! We'll hike along a stunning lakeshore trail, hopping past rocky points and hidden coves, all the way to one of the cleanest, calmest beaches around.
Once we get there - it's all yours: swim, sunbathe, play beach games, and refuel with a group picnic right on the sand 🍉🏖️
Not into sitting still? There's a bonus short trail to a quiet little lake tucked inside the park - perfect for those who want to keep exploring while the rest of us are working on our tans.
🥾 One trail, two vibes - hike hard or relax on the beach, everyone's welcome.
☀️ What to Expect
• Moderate walk (~1.5–2 hours total), mostly flat with one rocky/uneven stretch around the point - nothing technical, just watch your footing
• No lifeguards at the beach - everyone swims at their own comfort level
• Cell signal can be spotty in parts of the park
• Washrooms available near the main parking area, not on the beach itself
• Weather-dependent - we'll confirm the day before if anything changes

🎒 What to Wear & Bring
• Swimsuit + towel
• Closed-toe water shoes or sandals with good grip - a section of the trail near Methodist Point is rocky, and part of it may require walking right along the shoreline.
• Comfortable hiking shoes/sneakers for the trail itself
• Hat/cap + sunscreen (there's little shade directly on the beach)
• Refillable water bottle - bring more than you think you'll need, it's a hot walk
• Your own lunch/snacks - light and easy to carry

Contact number for the host, exact meeting spot, and other details will be shared with you right after registration, in the comments of this event.
