Please join us for another tick-free beach hike. This time we will be enjoying the majestic beauty of the Atlantic Ocean to the south, as well as the Amagansett National Wildlife Refuge, and the Atlantic Double Dunes Preserve to the north.

We will meet at the restrooms at the Atlantic Avenue Ocean Beach parking area, on your left, off Atlantic Avenue. East Hampton Town beach parking (resident or non-resident) permit required. Because we can't determine in advance how firm the sand will be where it is level, this hike is being measured by time, not by distance. We will be walking along the beach for approximately 1.5 hours. Note the meeting time is 9:00 am.
