Meet at the Second Beach Parking Lot (https://goo.gl/maps/LoHW67LMieJAp7rx7) at 1:00pm on Friday, July 8th. As the drive can be long, the late meet time allows for getting kiddos up and out the door and time for lunch prior to meeting.
Meet at the trailhead at 1:00pm. Do last minute gear checks and plan on starting down the trail by 1:30pm.
We will go at a child friendly pace down to the beach, look for campsites, set up camp, let the kiddos play and then light a beach fire in the evening and eat dinner and have s'mores.
You have the option of either heading home after an overnight, or spending an extra night on the beach. My kiddos and I plan on staying two nights.
