0804 - Wassaw Island Beach Exploration
Spend time with marine educators exploring the North end of Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll anchor a Carolina skiff along the shoreline and hike along the northern part of the island looking for seashells before sampling the surf for cool marine animals using a seine net. Children 10 years or older are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
The trips are limited to 8 participants for a fee of $50 per person. Names and contact information for each passenger as well as an emergency contact information is needed for each passenger.
