About the event

Join us for a nature walk led by guide Dan Gardoqui, founder of Lead with Nature. Taking place at Surf Point in York, ME, this monthly event offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse habitats on Surf Point's 42 acres of coastal land, from tidal pools to salt marshes. 

This event will take place outside, so plan to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. The terrain will include rocky beaches, dirt roads, and grass. Feel free to bring binoculars for birdwatching. This is not an opportunity to visit the Surf Point house. There are no public restrooms. Parking is available on-site.

This event is free and open to the public and current Surf Point resident artists and art workers. Space is limited; registration is required. Donations are welcome. 

Address and directions will be provided to registrants the day before the walk. If you need to cancel your reservation for any reason, please send a message to samantha@surfpoint.me.
