Description
This time each year, horseshoe crabs crawl out of the ocean and onto the beaches of New England to lay their eggs. Join us in observing this natural wonder and learn more about these fascinating “living fossils."
Come ready to walk on the shoreline in wet, sandy and sometimes rocky conditions for two miles at twilight. Please bring a headlamp or flashlight.
Meet at the entrance to Napatree Beach in Watch Hill. Street parking available on Bay Street, but please allow 20-30 minutes of extra time for parking and walking. Carpooling is recommended. Advance sign-up required. Members: $12.75, Non-members $15
