Dive into a morning of ocean celebration and community connection! Join us on the beach at 35th Street for a robust lineup of family-friendly activities designed to inspire a deeper appreciation for our blue planet. Whether you're learning to swim or taking on the 1-mile swim challenge, flowing through beachside Pilates or participating in the ceremonial paddle-out, there’s something for everyone. Beyond the waves, engage in hands-on conservation efforts like a beach cleanup or a dune restoration, or explore immersive art installations and live performances that highlight the intersection of creativity and environmental stewardship. This event is more than just a day at the beach—it’s a powerful statement of our collective commitment to ocean conservation, fostering connections between art, community, and the natural world.
